We came up with this project idea in February when everything was beginning to shut down. As each day passed, news from around the world was getting more and more surreal. Overwhelming. Blurry. So, we made this. It’s a collection of the historic ways the world is changing.
We are collecting the biggest ways our world is changing due to COVID-19. It’s not an exhaustive archive, but we know we’re missing some interesting stories. We’d love your suggestions.
Your story suggestion should meet this criteria:
- It’s an interesting news story that shows how the world is changing due to COVID-19. This could be a big political story, or something related to individual impact.
- It’s more fact, less opinion (we won’t post anything without verifying sources)
- It’s significant, ergo making you think o m g
And this format:
- Story headline (
title
) - Story description (
description
) - in less than four sentences - The date it happened (
date
) - day and month (first three letters) - Link (
link
) - the original news source - Story type (
type
) - choose eitherBorders
,Business
,Culture
orSociety
Example:
{
"title": "China cuts off the city of Wuhan,",
"description": "home to 11 million people. Transportation is blocked, two days before Lunar New Year",
"date": "23 Jan",
"link": "https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-how-china-coping-photos-2020-1?r=US&IR=T",
"type": "Society"
}
