Have you heard the News?


I thought this was a pretty interesting graphic. From the folks at Good.is - a chart of the news stories that got national coverage in 2009 depicting the relative size of each.

I knew that the financial crisis/meltdown/armageddon was a big story, I didn't realize that it got what looks like 40% of the year's news coverage.

That's 4 out of every 10 printed articles, television, radio and internet news stories devoted to the biggest financial mess since the Great Depression EVERY SINGLE DAY.

No wonder I was bummed out every time I picked up the paper.

Check out this site to learn how it was created and launch a large version of the chart
