Google News aggregates news stories from hundreds of sources and, after calculating the frequency with which particular stories appear in various news sites around the world, displays the headlines accordingly. (In other words, a headline that appears in 100 newsites will be displayed more prominently than a headline that appears in only 50 newsites.

Newsmap crunches that information one step further. It represents the "popularlity" of various news stories visually, letting you see how the media around the world reveals its particular bias. See what India considers more newsworthy than Germany, for example. Slice and dice using countries, categories, or even time lines.
