Description
New York Times interactive coverage of the 2011 Egyptian revolution, mapping protests, events, and social media activity during the 18-day uprising that led to the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak. The NYT graphics team produced multiple interactive features tracking protest locations in Tahrir Square and across Cairo, key timeline events, military movements, and the unprecedented role of social media in organizing demonstrations. The coverage exemplified how news organizations used real-time interactive mapping and data visualization to tell the story of a fast-moving political crisis.
