Living Stories: NYTimes, WashPost, and Google

Two major US. Newspapers, the New York Times and the Washington Post, have teamed up with Google to create Living Stories. This pilot site focuses on presenting news specifically online.

You can navigate between news articles, opinion pieces and features. Each story has an evolving summary of current developments as a well as an interactive timeline of critical events. Stories can be explored by themes, significant participants or multimedia.

The site will focus on six national developing stories (and two local DC stories):

• Washington Tackles Health Care Reform (WashPo)
• Politics of global Warming (NYTimes)
• Struggle Over Health Care Reform (NYTimes)
• War in Afghanistan (NYTimes)
• Executive Compensation: How Much to Pay? (NYTimes)
  
• Battling Swine Flu (NYTimes)
