Here is a little project that I did recently. It is a Processing sketch that draws a map based on how often a country is mentioned in major media outlets (Such as the New York Times, Guardian UK, Al Jazeera, Reuters, AP). The brighter the country, the more mentions in the media.

A note about the applet, click the ‘approve’ button that will pop up (I have to sign the applet for security reasons) and give it a moment to do it’s thing, it’s doing a lot behind the scenes!
