To quote this site's description of itself:Vanishing Point consists of a map of the world connected to a database fed by news coming from several international newspapers. The visibility of each country on the map results from the quantity of media coverage the country receives, so those countries that do not make the news disappear progressively.
I'd be interested in contrasting it with a map in which states experiencing wars, plagues, pestilences, droughts, natural disasters, genocides, corruption, autocracy, or even just failed political-economic development (you know, newsworthy events) show up more obviously. . . it wouldn't be exactly the opposite, but it damn sure would be different.
A great heuristic. Honeys.
