Data visualizations of Google’s massive news aggregator are an interesting way to graphically keep tabs on developing news stories. A view of the project’s time-based interface. Stamen’s In The News visualizer provided a visual reference for Google’s “In The News” sidebar, providing an archive of popular news items, links to headlines, and a method for comparing news item performance over time.
From 2004-2005, it provided a unique view on the 2004 presidential election, and tracked how stories about world events erupted and subsided. The interface could be refocused on specific names, and groups of items could be compared over time using sparkline-style graphs. On August 2, 2005, we stopped gathering data from Google News. Oh, so meta! We had hoped the data would remain more consistent and based on user input, and lead to some interesting analytical conclusions. View Project.
