who employs me
I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Any views expressed here are my own.

View Article  NYT interactives on the financial crisis

This page has an interactive timeline that marks developments in the crisis since Sept. 7, when the U.S. government bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage lending companies.

This page shows the geographic breakdown of the House of Representatives vote.

The NYT also had an animated infographic that walks you through the day's numeric festivities in reaction to the voting, but unfortunately, one can't link directly to this item; it's embedded on the home page but not into any related story pages.

Update

After the Asian markets opened, the NYT shifted its homepage infographic to track the carnage on the other side of the dateline.
