3/11 Video Map: Archiving YouTube Clips of the Japan Quake and Tsunami
By Rick Martin on 02 Oct 2011
Some of you may recall the Newfoundland Hurricane video map I made back last September. I was a little fed up at the time with what I thought was primarily story-based disaster reporting from local news orgs, when there was an enormous amount of user-generated YouTube clips of the storm that were not being taken advantage of. I took a modest stab at mapping them using Google Fusion tables (frequently used by the more progressive/digital newsrooms), because viewing them by location seemed most logical.
