WNYC Uncommon Economic Indicators
WNYC Radio in New York is using the Google Maps API to share listeners' stories about economic activity in the New York City area. The stories are about jobs lost or found, stores opening or closing or good deals on rent, etc.
Users can submit their stories to the map with an accompanying photograph or video. The stories are categorised on the map by 'bright spots', 'commerce' 'employment', 'housing', 'swindlers' or 'behaviour'.
The map is a great way for WNYC to engage with their listeners and a great exercise in hyper-local citizen journalism.
