The Lifespan of News Stories: Landing Page

The Lifespan of News Stories

Project Brief

The Lifespan of News Stories is a collaboration between Schema, Google News Initiative, Alberto Cairo, and Axios. The project analyzes the shape of search interest data of the top news stories of 2018. By visualizing and categorizing the shape types into four groups we start seeing patterns, and it becomes possible to visualize that news stories come and go with a certain rhythm throughout the year.
