Content analysis was adopted to analyze a sample of multimedia materials on both channels, using Industrial Week, where a total of 263 analytical units of Infographics and video were analyzed during the period from 1 January 1 to 1 April 2021. The findings showed that the political, social and sports topics were among the most covered by the infographics and the video graphic on both websites. The readable and visual elements accounted for the largest percentage of the infographics and video components published on the two sites, while the audio elements came in a very small percentage. It was also found that the distribution of the journalistic pattern followed by the infographics and the video on the two sites was divided into six patterns, including the press report, the reportage, and then the press investigation. The presentation of data in infographics and video graphics in both sites focused on the descriptive method, followed by the analytical method; the comparative method came third.
