> Plaza Pública is a online newspaper from Guatemala which is starting to
> work with data.  They are starting to use different sorts of data such as
> network, GIS, statistical and discourse.  They are creating interesting
> analysis.  The first incursion into data journalism has been the
> construction of an interactive map of the Guatemalan Congress, which is
> meant to provide basic information to readers on the different aspects of
> congressmen and women such as voting, district, etc. This is the link

> also in dept analysis for the more advance reader, this is an example of
> such analysis
