While I was away Reuters’ head of visual projects Jassim Ahmad dropped me a link to his team’s latest project: a stunning interactive timeline of the last 365 days of the economic crisis – marking the year from September 15 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed.

Aside from stunning visuals, the ‘Times of Crisis’ timeline can also be filtered by topic and date, and mixes text, video and images to tell the story.

On the Online Journalism Blog, Karthika Muthukumaraswamy has a great Q&A with Ahmad about the logistics of creating such a large project.
