Maps and Elections 2020

Election season is just around the corner and it's time to rev-up MapHawk again...watching the media publish, report and sometimes "lie" with maps. See how the media graphically portrays this year's presidential, congressional and local-level trends...in an unbiased and forthright manner.

Maps from Media Resources of Coronavirus

New York Times  bubble map  of Covid-19 is city by city, which notes state and local health agencies, hospitals, as well as the CDC as sources. New York Times  also  published an article showing, with maps , how the #Coronavirus spread from Wuhan to the rest of China and beyond. Washington Post  has both U.S.and global maps that are current but use Johns Hopkins data. Seattle Times  has a page with a dashboard of data by county. Politico  has a basic map but the state-by-state charts of Covid-19 testing are useful. Bloomberg News’ geospatial team is doing an excellent job of showing the  distribution of the spread globally . Follow  Bobby Shackleton  on LinkedIn as he is publishing maps for Bloomberg daily. US News and World Report  has  published   a map  on the vulnerability of cities based on demographic characteristics.
