Mapping The Boston Globe

Mapping the Globe is a actually interesting projection to map all the locations mentioned inwards the Boston Globe since Nov 2011. The map allows yous to visualize the areas which are close mentioned inwards the Globe equally a whole as well as inside the newspaper's private sections.

Two filter controls on the map allow yous to explore the information inwards to a greater extent than detail. The 'Map' filter allows yous to persuasion the geographical distribution of places mentioned inwards the unlike sections of the Boston Globe. The 'View' filter allows yous to switch betwixt a choropleth persuasion (showing the distribution of places mentioned per capita) as well as a persuasion of all the places mentioned shown equally private markers on the map.

If yous hover over an private marking on the map yous tin destination read a brusque introduction of the relevant Boston Globe article. In fact my major quibble amongst this map is that the information windows should opened upward on mouse-click rather than mouse-hover. Opening the information windows on mouse-hover does brand the map real hard to navigate. It is actually hard to direct an private marking on the map because, equally yous motion your mouse around, information windows starting fourth dimension popping upward all over the map.
