My first interactive D3 graphic - the SHOULDs of the Economist, Jan 2014 - today

The data file is an extract of all sentences containing the string 'should' within the print editions of the Economist from January 2014 until today. The visualisation lets you explore these sentences by names or topics. You can search a term, a country, continent, topic, politician etc. to highlight the sentences, which contain these words. For punchy recommendations and better sharing, you can limit the sentence lenght so the recommendation you pass on fits in a tweet.

Enjoy playing!

P.S.: If something looks weird, try Firefox - that's were I tested it in.
