News in a map. Who'd have thought it?

In the 21st Century we find ourselves in an age of media convergence. Convergence of media occurs when multiple products come together to form one product with the advantage of them all, also known as the black box.

An example of this can be shown in Google maps. Here, I have taken the written media i.e. stories from the 14th October edition of the Lancashire Evening post and placed it into a map. Images are used as the place markers and links to the stories themselves from the LEP website can be found, along with related links to the stories from other media outlets.
