We’ve just launched BackStory, our latest new feature on CNN.com, to give you a quick way to catch up on how a story has developed over time. Now, when we want to give history, context and background to a developing story, we go back through our archives to find “milestone” events and then link those together in an interactive window. Our BackStory on the investigation into the anthrax attacks takes us back to that first death from anthrax exposure and the spread of the scare to the U.S. Senate offices in those uneasy weeks after the 9/11 attacks. We highlight how the FBI issued a profile of their suspect and then honed in on a scientist — the wrong one — before finally saying this month that they believe they’ve solved the case. In this and all other BackStories, readers can click through events to get a quick recap of how the story has evolved and how it has been covered on CNN. And we link to full stories of the time to give more details of what we knew then as well as to pages on key players. So watch out for more BackStories and let us know if they’re giving you the understanding of a story you want. Posted by: Rachel Clarke, CNN.com Senior Producer |
