Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying information relating to a news story in a computer system. A computer system receives a news story, determines a corresponding geographical location to the location of the news story, and displays a story indicator on a map using the location corresponding to the news story, such that the information displayed relates to the news story and the story indicator. The story indicator displayed on the map also fades, where the fade rate is a function of the aging of the news story.
