The Best New York Times Graphics of 2012

I am going to be publishing some 2012 wrap-ups today and tomorrow -- there are too many to post them all in one night, and I've refused to start wrapping up 2012 before the end of the year. 

A great place to start is The New York Times's wrap up of its best interactive graphics of 2012. Every single one of these is an incredible piece of work and eclipses the most of the work I seeing elsewhere. They're so informative, so well designed, so beautiful that they deserve a separate post ... I'll be revisiting a few of these in subsequent posts related to some of their substance (I've published on a few in the past).
