In practice
The data has to be worth the design. An infographic with no original figures earns nothing beyond a retweet.
Publish the underlying numbers as text on the same page so the content is indexable and quotable.
Why it matters
Editors will reproduce a clear chart when they will not reproduce a paragraph, and they credit the source.
It is also the format most often reused without a link, so a clear attribution line matters.
