Reflecting on the 2010s, through the lens of the New York Times

The New York Times, known as the New-York Daily Times back then, was founded on September 18, 1851, as a penny paper by journalist and politician Henry Jarvis Raymond and former banker George Jones. With more than 9 million digital + print subscribers from 235 countries, the New York Times is the largest newspaper in the United States.

I created this project to reflect on the 2010s through the lens of the New York Times. It visualizes the amount of news coverage from 2010 to 2022 on a broad range of topics ranging from life-changing COVID-19 to something as trivial as the rise in popularity of fidget spinners.
