"Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator.

It is not thought to display an unbiased view of the news; on the contrary, it is thought to ironically accentuate the bias of it. " --- Credits concept, design & frontend coding: Marcos Weskamp.
