“The cartograms below show the world through the eyes of editors-in-chief, in 2007. Countries swell as they receive more media attention; others shrink as we forget them[1].”

I am surprised that US appears smaller than it is in all of them. It is smaller than it is even in the Economist, and the Economist has a special section for the US. I wonder how they counted the references to the countries.

That does beg the question. I suspect it would hinge on what volume one considered "the same as it's size." It could be that the cartographers simply realized you can never talk about the US enough. ;)

Well, they could have taken the approach that the quantity of references exactly matches the size of the world and then went from there. Countries would be the size proportionally of their reference counts.
