How NYT covers the world

Here is a map of the world in which the size of all the 192 countries (of the UN) are adjusted to the number of articles about them appeared in the New York Times from 2000 till the present. Interestingly Iraq and not China is the second most discussed subject country! In many ways the size of the respective countries is an approximate indicator of its importance in American foreign policy!
