Newspaper pulses
See this year in the sky ↗Newspapers sit roughly where they were printed: north at the top, east to the right. Papers are nudged apart so names stay readable, so distances are not to scale.
Bars show how many of the newspapers on the map have surviving pages each week (each day in short views). A low or missing bar means few or no pages survive in the archive, not that the papers were silent. Click a bar to jump there.
Archive coverage in this period
Available pages are surviving pages in this dataset. A date without a passage is not proof that a newspaper was silent.
Each pulse marks one printed passage on its publication date. Reviewed stories were read and checked against the scans; matched stories were found automatically by shared wording and are not checked. In a single story, colours describe textual roles; in the reviewed overview, colours identify story categories. Glow is an animation effect: papers that printed the same story within 40 days glow again together. Constellation lines appear only when you pick a story; they group its printings by nearness on the map and never show who copied whom. Nodes are placed roughly by town of publication, not to scale.
