Maps & Data

Demographic maps and curated datasets, each with its provenance, vintage, and method.

Every map here ships with the data behind it. Download it, check it, reuse it — including the world map below, which indexes the current World Feed by the countries its headlines named.

Where the reporting is

Countries named in the last 48 hours of the World Feed, shaded by how many stories named them. Select a country for those stories. This maps where coverage points, not where events matter: a country is shaded because headlines said its name, and the quietest places on this map are often the least covered rather than the calmest.

Countries named, and the stories that named them
