News outlets tend to highlight the first 100 days of a new administration, and they like to show the changes with charts. It gives a feel for a true direction instead of empty claims and where we might be headed for the next few years. This time around was no exception.

Irineo Cabreros and Aatish Bhatia, for NYT’s the Upshot, used eight charts, closing with approval rating:

Financial Times (paywalled) also went with ten charts to show the first 100 days. Reuters used 47 photos instead.
I am sure there were many more, but you get the picture.
