'Wall Street Journal' Mini-Site Maps Out Newspaper Woes

Posted
By: E&P Staff The Wall Street Journal on Friday launched an interactive mini-site that displays "adverse events" at the biggest U.S. newspapers from 2006 to the present.

"Pressure on the Presses" includes a U.S. map plotting out events at the top 50 circulation newspapers. Users can drag a mouse over the market to get a pop-up description of problems at the individual paper. A color-coded guide indicates the troubles faced by the particular daily, including bankruptcy, reduced printed editions and closing.

The site was produced by Megan Ballinger, Mei Lan Ho-Walker and Susan McGregor.
