2010- a year in Wikileaks
The Guardian's 2010 coverage of Wikileaks visualised. The bars map the number of articles on a monthly basis, where 12 o’clock is January. You can see a small peak in April, when the Collateral Murder video was released, bigger peaks in July and October as the Afghanistan and Iraq logs are published and a massive spike in December as “Cablegate” gets going. The article headlines are arranged by date order, but on a uniform scale. Built with Processing and the Guardian Open Platform API.
