[ddj] Interactive timeline of PRISM scandal

Mon Sep 9 18:08:40 UTC 2013

Hi,

I made a little toy for news analysis: an interactive timeline of events
about the Prism scandal, chronicled by selected media in online news
articles, giving a summarized view of events as they unfolded. It's
intended as a parody of a NSA software to track people and analyze their
metadata. It consists of these parts:

   - the chronological order of articles, visualized as a timeline,
   - a network of people, places and organizations that appear in the
   articles,
   - geographic information that the articles refer to, and
   - a bar graph showing wordcounts of interesting words, associated with
   the main theme.

Visualization is here: http://virostatiq.com/data/prism/

More about methodology in the blog post:

Hope you like it!

Best,

Marko
