Abstract

If you've been working with GIS in the past several years, you probably know about, or at least have heard of, Esri StoryMaps. They have been around since 2013, and are part of the Esri ecosystem. Combining maps, text, images, videos, and other digital objects, StoryMaps offer a compelling multimodal method of presenting information narratives. The current modes of StoryMap creation are more user-friendly - a far cry from the custom built methods, which are still around in more open-source tools.
