Tell me about this graphic

Posted on October 3, 2007 by Melissa Worden

I meant to blog about this last week, but I like it so much it’s still worth noting. In this Layers of Ownership interactive graphic, The New York Times has added audio to explain a quite confusing topic.

Click the play button, and reporter Charles Duhigg talks about the complicated structure of the Habana Health Care nursing home and its facilities as the graphic changes in sync.

It’s like watching a mini-film tutorial at a history museum. I’d still like the option to click next, though, so I can move through it at my own pace.

Is it just me, or does this take a looong time to load? When it finally loaded, the audio did not play. The controller widget moved as if it were playing, but no sound. I checked my volume and all of that. Maybe it broke.

Mine worked just fine. But I’m his mother, and that may have something to do with it.

Mindy, it’s still working for me, too. Maybe the site was having troubles at the time you looked at it?
