big_stories_ranks

The Big Story This val, along with @tmcw.big_story , which requests from the New York Times API , and @tmcw.big_stories_ranks , which contains the data, generates a visualization of top stories on the NYTimes homepage. This is here just to ask the question – what happens to cover stories over time? Do they slowly drop down the page, or just get replaced by a fully new lede? So far it doesn't have quite enough data to answer that question. But also, it might be neat because it'll show which kinds of stories make the front page - is it climate, war, politics, or something else? 👉 The Big Story (visualization)
