Behind the scenes of New York Times “Olympics Medal Count Map”
I’m finally getting around to catching up on all of my side reading before I head out of the country. I skimmed through New York Times’ “Talk to the Newsroom” article on the interactive news team back in January, but I never went back to read all of the latest questions until now. One Q&A in particular caught my attention because it described how they built the classic “Olympics Medal Count” map that everyone raved about. It also led me to another blog by producer Lee Bryon describing his role in the project. If you were like me and also missed this conversation, take the time to read it now as it really helps to get the creative juices flowing.
New York Times’ best interactives of 2008
2008 will be remembered for the historic presidential election, collapsing economy, financial bailout, Chinese Olympics, and the Iraq & Afghanistan wars … among others. What these all have in common is a great deal of data, numbers and confusing figures. New York Times, without a doubt, was the leader in creating successful infographics and stimulating interactives dealing with these high interest news stories.
