I love that there are so many different ways to tell the story of what’s happening in the world. It can be overwhelming, but it’s good. I discovered one of the most interesting, thanks to an NPR story, headlined: Picture this. That story introduced me to illustrator Maria Fabrizio, who is behind the project Wordless News. , touted as “One headline a day, vowel and consonant free.” I love words, but I also like this idea. Her illustrations are terrific and make one think. The work is different from editorial cartoonists, who also have a great role in helping us understand the world.
I think I also was taken by her first Wordless News image, which was when Pope Benedict decided to retire, to hang up his hat.
