[AI-Generated Summary]: StoryMapJS is an open-source tool from Northwestern University Knight Lab that helps users tell stories on the web by highlighting the locations of a series of events. The tool offers two main storytelling approaches: creating narrative maps where each slide represents a location in the story (supporting various media including Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Wikipedia, and SoundCloud), or using gigapixel images for stories with large photographs, works of art, or historic maps. Used by major publications like The Washington Post, The Times, and MinnPost for interactive journalism, StoryMapJS makes it easy to create compelling location-based narratives without technical expertise.
