This paper introduces an interactive news flow visualization that reveals emerging topics in dynamic digital content archives. The presented approach combines several visual metaphors and can be easily adapted to present multi-source social media datasets. In the context of this work, we discuss various methods for improving visual interfaces for accessing aggregated media representations. We combine falling blocks with bar graphs and arcs, but keep these elements clearly separated in different areas of the display. The arc metaphor is adapted and enriched with interactive controls to help users understand the dataset's underlining meaning. The paper describes the implementation of the prototype and discusses design issues with a particular emphasis on visual metaphors to highlight hidden relations in digital content. We conclude with a summary of the lessons learnt and the integration of the visualization component into the Media Watch on Climate Change (www.ecoresearch.net/climate), a public Web portal that aggregates environmental information from a variety of online sources including news media, blogs and other social media such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.
