"13 Seconds in August:" a year later

Friday is the anniversary of the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, and the Poynter Institute's Visual Voice marks the similar anniversary of the extraordinary graphic by the Minneapolis Star Tribune -- by far the most dramatic and touching graphic I've seen on the Internet -- by interviewing its lead designer and a researcher still updating the information. Visual Voice says that people are still spending hours looking at the graphic. I know I've visited at least a dozen times. If you haven't seen the graphic, please do so. It illustrates why I believe that the Internet can add to journalism in ways we haven't even begun to imagine.
