What is news cartography?
Using kmaps to make sense of long and complex news stories.
The challenge: Allowing the casual observer to keep up to speed with salient details of a news story while allowing those more interested to delve into it in more depth, over time, and yet with speed for the viewer. The answer: The DebateGraph map.

Maps allow us to position those news stories within larger and larger contexts. They can be linked to analysis maps which allow analysts to draw conclusions and suggest courses of action.

Maps cut through the clutter of social media as well as providing an opportunity for global discussion. Social media is of the moment. Maps allow organizations to step outside that time restriction. 

DebateGraph allows for collaboration and time-stamping, choreography and multi-media, citations and comments. All of these combine to provide powerful map editorial functions.

Linking and de-coupling map mechanisms provide for independent creation and maintenance of subsidiary maps within a larger story.
