Major events, spatially
Every detected major event, plotted at its most specific resolvable location. Scroll or pinch to zoom, drag to pan, click a marker for its events.
Referent location, not confirmed occurrenceEach marker is a referent location — the place a story's own text most prominently names, surfaced via named-entity extraction — not a verified site of occurrence. A story datelined in Lagos about a policy affecting Kano will map to Lagos here. Read this as “what places does the coverage talk about,” not “where did this happen.”
Solid border = city-level, real coordinates. Dashed border = country fallback (no confident city match).
