NYT Infographics

I chose the NYT How They Got Their Guns article as my infographic. It covers a range of different shootings, including the Orland Pulse nightclub shooting and the San Bernardino shooting, to juxtapose how the different mass shooters obtained their weapons. I like that it explored the overarching fact that most of the guns were obtained legally. I think it was also helpful to have the visual infographic because I think a story that compared the different shootings strictly by text could get somewhat convoluted by the many different details like victim counts, assault rifles vs. glocks, etc. But the clean layout and visuals made it much easier to absorb the information and naturally compare them.
