Mapping with CartoDB and Torque

 

Using resources as CartoDb together with data analysis allowed us to develop original content presented as interactive maps. We spent together four full day self-learning sessions mixing together a multidisciplinary team including designers, journalists and the data team.

One of the first examples was a map with the areas that have free wi-fi in Buenos Aires, published in January and updated and published again in March and May, in related articles.

January: a map allows us to know the areas of free wi-fi access in the City of Buenos Aires in libraries, museums and public squares. 

March: the public wi-fi reached Florida street

May: new free wi-fi areas in the City of Buenos Aires Metro.

On the other hand, using Twitter Data and CartoDB torque maps, we could learn and explore trends in breaking news hashtags regarding the viralization of DubsMash and the death of the prosecutor Alberto Nisman.

An example of the global impact when irrupted the death of Nisman Prosecutor #lamuertedenisman. The map included tweets sent on February 18 from 17.30 and 21.30, combining hashtags #18F, #marchadelsilencio y #LaMarchadelSilencio and Torque feature for timing tweets..
