Like many others, I've found that many of the most recent examples of data journalism deal with coronavirus. This article is from the BBC and was published this morning, February 27th. With a story like the coronavirus it is important to recognize that the data is constantly changing as more cases are detected and the virus continues to be studied. 

The authors of this article took an informative approach and used multiple visual aids such as maps, bar graphs, and line graphs. There is a lot of information being introduced daily to the public regarding the spread of the virus, however, this was one of the most informative and thorough that I have read.

The information broke down the impact of the virus down into multiple areas including but not limited to: the impact in China, the impact in Northern Italy, the impact in Iran, the impact on South Korea, the impact of all countries, worldwide comparison to similar outbreaks such as SARS, daily death tolls in China, and how the virus spread within China after the first cases were reported in Wuhan.
