This was a stunning piece about the Fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral. It looks like the visualisation team at the NYT threw everything at it but the kitchen sink, but this is a visualisation where the data is a timeline of moments sourced from reporting work done by journalists nailing down a series of events drawn from a confusing medley. The use of user-generated content was spectacular in capturing the sense that the world was watching, and the illustrations from the sketchbook of a firefighter are a nice touch.

Hi Andrew, 

The link to the story that you shared is a really good one. I liked it very much. From my point of view, the authors were able to create a really interesting story by using interactive visual tools that allow readers to follow the event from the begging until the end and overall have a comprehensive picture of what was going on.

Thanks again for sharing


Have a nice life


best,
