For my capstone project, I created a shiny app about how the press in the USA has changed with the rise of the internet. In it, I explore the decline of newspapers (especially local papers) over the past two decades.
The data used belongs to the University of North Carolina and was used with their permission.
Check out the application in action here!
Use the first tab to find your state (or any other state of interest) and explore newspaper trends by county and state
Use the second tab to visualize these trends using a cartogram of the US by state, in which various data points are substituted for land area.
- Clone the repository
- Open global.R, server.R, ui.R
- Adjust as necessary
No known bugs at this time
