1. Captures the Imagination
Which story are you more likely to read?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2013/apr/16/data-store-boston-marathon-explosions
The explosion …and the response
2. Illustrates Trends

Was it the biggest? the Deadliest?
3. Facilitates Comparisons
A movement underway

But how widespread is it?
More Comparisons
Is my pension in “peril”? Is my county more “lush”?
