We came up with this project idea in February when everything was beginning to shut down. At the time, it felt like a novelty. But as things progressed, we realised we're living out a historic time. So, we made this. It's a collection of the ways the world is changing.

We are collecting the biggest ways our world is changing due to COVID-19. It’s not an exhaustive archive, but we know we’re missing some interesting stories. We’d love your suggestions.

Your story suggestion should meet this criteria:

• It’s an interesting news story that shows how the world is changing due to COVID-19. This could be a big political story, or something related to individual impact.
• It’s more fact, less opinion (we won’t post anything without verifying sources)
• It’s significant, ergo making you think o m g

And this format:

• Story headline (title)
• Story description (description) - in less than four sentences
• The date it happened (date) - day and month (first three letters)
• Link (link) - the original news source
• Story type (type) - choose either Borders, Business, Culture or Society

Example:

  {
    "title": "China cuts off the city of Wuhan,",
    "description": "home to 11 million people. Transportation is blocked, two days before Lunar New Year",
     "date": "23 Jan",
    "link": "https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-outbreak-how-china-coping-photos-2020-1?r=US&IR=T",
    "type": "Society"
  }

Please create a pull request adding the new story to /src/data/stories.json. Or, if you don´t speak code, please fill this out

We're planning to add language translations. If you're keen to help, please submit a new issue letting us know which language you're able to translate.

Issues and PRs are much appreciated. Please create a new branch and a PR to submit your suggestions.
