The research aims to identify the structural elements of the infographic in the websites of the Iraqi satellite channels. His sample consisted of (Kurdistan 24) and (Alsumaria) websites, which have a great interest in producing and publishing infographics compared to other websites for satellite channels. To achieve the goal of the research, the researcher relied on a content analysis form for a deliberate sample of (85) single figures (infographics) published during the first three months of the second half of 2٠21 in the two mentioned sites. The researcher reached several results, most notably: The sites did not care about producing and publishing the infographic on a systematic daily basis. Nor did the sites rely on incorporating all the visual structural elements into the design of the infographic. While the two sites showed a prominent interest in the written structural elements (100%) with the exception of the (percentages) element, which the Alsumaria website did not care about at all. The results also demonstrated the prominent (96.15 percent) interest of the Alsumaria TV website in music as an audio component as an alternative to the voice of the announcer, despite the different roles played by both elements. The results showed that the website of (Kurdistan 24) channel did not depend on the mentioned element in the design of the infographic. Finally, the researcher found that the two sites have another common point, which is their lack of dependence on the two elements (statements and sound effects) in the production of the infographic.
