Reporting on media bias and the bubbles it creates is nothing new. But last week’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing provided a rare opportunity to explore a new angle. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News all aired former FBI director James Comey’s testimony live and uninterrupted. The graphics team at The Washington Post tracked what each network displayed in its lower third caption panel—also called a chyron—and showed it to readers as the hearing unfolded.

When the conversation in nerd-journalism concentrates around a particular topic, we sometimes assemble a theme week on Source to help collect the loose threads and encourage journalists (and designers and developers and data analysts) to document their related work.
