The data is freely available to download via TV News Archive.Īpparently, Uber has just released anonymized data from over two billion journeys around the world. The software crawls through TV news footage to analyze the amount of screen time given to Trump and various leaders of the U.S. The records go back to 1985, and you can download it in Excel, XML, HTML and geospatial files (h/t Jeremy Singer-Vine).Īs part of the Internet Archive’s new project TV News Archive, the company created a new tool: Face-O-Matic. Here’s a timely dataset to revisit: the Global Active Archive of Large Flood Events. The article was created using ESRI’s Story Map Cascade template and data was taken from the ArcGis Housing Affordability Index. The map uses some nice scrollytelling to explain the best and worst of each area too. The central visualization of the piece is a choropleth map showing the ratio of median mortgage against the median income of each area. John Nelson of ESRI wrote an impressive data analysis of house mortgage prices across the U.S. “For example, CityLab, a subsidiary of The Atlantic Media company devoted to telling the story of the world’s cities, has found that, on average, their maps page sees more engagement and shares from their 2.2 million unique monthly visitors than any other type of post.”
Here’s a nice testimonial on web traffic from CityLab: Carto published a blog on 3 ways that businesses can use maps in their digital strategies. We know from lots of data viz folks that people love maps (even if they’re not always the best all-around choice for your data). The study analyzed results from 75 executives. Oh boy…according to Harvard Business Review, only 3% of companies have databases that meet the minimum acceptable range of 97 correct data records out of 100. The NYT also produced a visual piece showing how more than 40 industrial sites released hazardous pollutants because of Hurricane Harvey. I’m on holiday next week, so next Data Curious will be coming back on 11 September. In typical newsletter fashion, I’ll include a bunch of links for you to click on, save for later and then never return to again (it’s ok, we all do it). So here’s what caught my eye the week of August 21. And there’s so many hurricane maps.Įvery week I clip, save and bookmark tons of cool things I find on the web that relate to telling stories with data. This roundup will likely be a bit beefier than normal since I saved links from the past two weeks. Pardon the Wednesday posting delay! Back on a Monday morning, weekly posting routine next week (promise). This is week 19 (last week’s post is here).Īfter a brief vacation hiatus, I’m back at it posting all my favorite data things. Welcome to my weekly roundup of data-driven things I noticed on the web last week. Data Curious : A roundup of data stories, datasets and visualizations from last week
