THREAD: There's a lot of really well designed interactive journalism coming out these days. I'm publishing my own interactive story in about a week, so let's count down with a collection of some of the best interactive stories I've seen recently.

Suggestions are also welcome!

The interactives team at @CBCNews did amazing work here with a 3D Coronavirus model (I'm more than a little excited to spend a few weeks with them in the fall). https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/coronavirusmutations/

The coronavirus is constantly mutating — and that can help us track it

Sequencing the coronavirus’s RNA is providing researchers with valuable information about the strains of the virus in Canada and how to stop its spread.

I love this from @nytimes for many reasons (illustrations, navigation etc). I'll be reverse engineering this one for sure. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/11/magazine/quarantine-paris.html

I Didn’t Feel Parisian Until I Escaped Paris

There's nothing more French than descending on the countryside in times of trouble.

A special mention to this one from @politico. It's not necessarily interactive in the classic sense, but the comic-style storytelling is really effective! https://www.politico.com/interactives/2020/coronavirus-pandemic-natural-world-illustrated/

How the pandemic has changed the natural world, illustrated

The coronavirus pandemic’s effect on human health has become clear. But changes to the earth’s ecological balance — and how we relate to nature — are only beginning to appear.
