New York Times Mapping  September 2010

An introduction to scripting and data analysis and visualization. Search class, led by Toru Hasegawa and Mark Collins, was used to illustrate how code could be used to explain data.

In collaboration with Nathan Smith.

The New York Times project accessed the New York Times API to bring in articles based on given keyword. Connections were drawn among certain words from the article text and headline to form a unique line for that article. One 'stop' was then chosen as the seed for the next article search which built its own line. This process was repeated as many times as necessary, with the lines eventually forming an intricate network of shared and non-shared words.
