Hi Ryan, I've worked on a couple of map-based projects with WNYC in New York. One about inventor Nikola Tesla, who spent most of his life in the city, incorporates photos, audio and video. The other was part of a larger online and broadcast celebration of Lunar New Year in New York.

Ryan -

If it helps, I’ve been compiling examples of different aspects of new media in my delicious bookmarks here:

I use these when I do classes and presentations, and some of the categories will probably be a bit cryptic to you. But here’s the section on examples of multimedia storytelling:

Good luck with your talk.

What about Maplight? http://www.maplight.org

The user interface could be better, but I like the idea of bringing together campaign contributions and voting records.

For the internationally minded:

Just to show that global and hyperlocal aren’t mutually exclusive. Not by a long shot.

@Nathan - That's just sick. I totally read your comment in the car and hit the link on my phone. It's beautiful. @Tim - TPM looms huge, especially after winning what it did today. @Brian - That's an awesome way to put those comments together, and reminds me to show off some map mashups, too. Here's the Bakersfield Californian pothole map.

A little bit of self-promotion but here’s a Google Maps mashup of a columnist’s front-page story on calls to remove Interstate 81 through downtown Syracuse, plus the comments that ensued in his blog, plus a grad student’s thesis, plus even a Usenet group’s responses.
