This interactive map plots recent global news events by geographic location, with markers color-coded by news category. The visualization uses a Natural Earth projection with graticule lines and country borders, rendered as SVG paths. Built with D3.js and React, it loads world geography from world-atlas TopoJSON and overlays a CSV dataset of headlines, using the d3.geoPath and d3.geoNaturalEarth1 APIs for projection and the d3.csv parser for data ingestion. Hovering over a marker reveals a tooltip with the headline, summary, location, and date.
