At the CICM conference, keynote speaker Jennifer Carroll impressed me talking about how Gannett papers are trying to use more databases to create useful applications for readers. I also attended a breakout session with Rick Burnes of Faneuil Media, which created Atlas Maps, and learned more about the power of databases to tell stories.
Now that I'm back home, I've got databases on my mind.
So naturally I'm impressed with Matt Waite's use of a database to map noise levels in his city. He actually went out and did reporting to create the database, and then mapped it. Check out his post for a detailed step-by-step description of what he did.
