Tired of reading about U.S. politics? Then pick up a copy of l’Humanite. Want to follow issues in Iraq and Iran? Then Slate is for you. At least according to these cartograms, which show media coverage, by source, of the world’s countries.
Nicolas Kayser-Bril and Gilles Bruno have created 11 such maps for media sources ranging from La Croix, to the New York Times (shown above), to the “blogosphere.” Not surprisingly, each source allots a disproportionate degree of coverage to its own country – Slate less so than the New York Times and The Economist much less so than, say, the Guardian.
Oddly enough, the blogosphere –- an amorphous source not exactly known for credibility –- does not appear too different in its global coverage from The Economist.
