A charticle is a combination of text, images and graphics that takes the place of a full article in a newspaper or other publication. Unlike a traditional news article that usually consists of large blocks of text with occasional images or other graphics used to enhance the article's visual appeal or to convey some ancillary information, a charticle is composed primarily of an image, with text used only sparingly to provide additional information. The ratio of text to images is inverted in a charticle compared to a traditional article, essentially making it the graphic novel equivalent of a traditional news article.

Others claim that Edward Tufte, a pioneer in information design, is behind the charticle even though he has not coined the term. ==See also== Listicle Photo-essay Photo-editorial Infographic ==References==
