Medium: The Rhetoric Behind the Coronavirus Propaganda Maps - Author Mathieu Guglielmino writes: "In this piece, I analyze about 30 maps related to the COVID-19 pandemic produced with an intent to persuade. They have been selected on a variety of topics such as lockdown protests, environment, inequality, spread, or even faith. Taken together, they draw the design space which can amount to much of the visual rhetoric of persuasive geocommunication. Doing so, I hope to promote maps as the storytelling device so that they are an advocate for a critical attitude towards media and data visualizations. The following maps can be either inaccurate or highly biased. Please do not use these as examples of what to do. I present them so that we may learn how to make more equitable work in the future."

Stamen: Introducing Scale-a-Tron - The new scale comparison tool promises "the clipped image will always* be accurate in terms of area." Really fun app to explore! I compared the area of my childhood swimming pond (Wedge Pond, outlined in pink) with a lake I ran around 20 times one night (Lake Quannapowitt). Via @stamen.
