Micro · the atoms
the finest grain: each atom compares two outlets’ narratives on the same point — where they concur or contradict
Meso · finer regions
atoms about one event (a place, a moment) gather here — zoom in
Macro · coarser regions
events about a broader theme gather into the big regions — zoom out
Colouring of atoms & regions
atoms by recency (blue new, red old); regions by topic — switch to consensus in the menu to light up where outlets clash most
Open a region
click any region (or its label) for its card: the questions in contest, who takes each side, and which outlets push it
Search with the Search button (top): type a topic and the rest of the map dims so the matches light up. A chip shows what's active — tap its × to release it. Keyboard: ⌘K / Ctrl-K opens it, Enter flies to the top match, Esc releases.
Click a region (or its label) to open its card — the heart of it. Tabs walk you through: the questions outlets are fighting over; Composition, a sunburst of which outlets (and countries) push each side, sized by how much they cover it; Outlets coalitions, where outlets agree vs contradict; and the geographical spread.
Click a single atom for what it compares: the two narratives, their quotes and sources, and the frame each casts the story in.
Hover an atom or region for its gist in a line.
Timeline (bottom): press play or drag the handle to move through time, and watch regions grow, shift, and fade as events develop.
Zoom in to break a broad theme into the specific events inside it; pan by dragging. Desktop: scroll to zoom.
Menu (top left): change what the colours show, the topic scale, and which stories count as recent.
