Wikipedia: A Charticle is a combination of text, images and graphics that takes the place of a full article.[1] 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.
