There's no point hiding it. For 'the longest time' we've been enormous fans of the NY Times's interactive content.

Take, for example, its What Happens to Viral Particles on the Subway article from last week – a brilliant, well-researched piece of writing backed up by some beautifully animated graphics that come to life as you scroll. It's stunning.

The first time we became aware of the NY Times's infographic prowess was almost exactly four years ago, when we happened across this phenomenal piece of data visualisation. It's a breathtaking marriage of data and creative and, back in '16, was way ahead of its time.

Oh, and how could we forgot its political work. Watch in awe as geo-political analysis reaches HTML nirvana in its How Large Is the Divide Between Red and Blue America piece. Incredible.
