Timeline of newspaper shutdowns, and the accelerating improvement of online tools
Steve Yelvington’s Timeline of newspaper edition shutdowns is excellent, helpful, and introduced me to a really cool timeline-building tool that I can’t wait to try out.
It’s a far cry from some of the HTML timelines I’ve been building lately.
It also brings home how the quality of our tools is increasing at an accelerating rate as clever programmers build on the good work of others who have shared their work with the rest of the community.
