The state boundaries, at least for NJ, seems wrong... so the pin is also in the wrong location.
I honestly find it hard to read the news when they are all stacked on top of each other. For instance, how is this useful? (screenshot: https://ibb.co/DDZ0txJ5)
It's hard to click on the items, and the constant zooming in/out is annoying. The linking of the news to other locations is interesting, but it doesn't really provide any new information to the user - what happens when you need to link something across the globe? How many linking locations can you have per article?
I also noticed that some news show up twice (same title / same source / same state).
It would be more interesting to me to see a sidebar with news titles/desc within a radius/city/state and as I click on the news the locations are displayed in the map. But I would still need to leave the website to go read the news, and then have to switch back and forth to get the "geographic context"... at that point as might as well just search google maps.
