The Washington Post has a beautiful, interactive web mapping site featuring Post articles plus videos, photos and more. There is a timeline at the bottom and icons or photos on a global map. The site has an especially attractive interface. This is what the web site says:
"TimeSpace is an interactive map that allows you to navigate articles, photos, video and commentary from around the globe. Discover news hot-spots where coverage is clustered. Use the timeline to illustrate peaks in coverage, and customize your news searches to a particular day or specific hour. (Many Washington Post stories appear at midnight; others are published throughout the day as news happens). Click the ? In the upper right for help. "
The New York Times has had geolocated articles for nearly a year now, so I'm glad to see the Post doing the same. So is one of the readers of this blog.
