The new Interactive Storytelling template allows users to create engaging narratives with interactive maps using minimal coding, leveraging platforms like Mapbox. This template has been utilized by major media outlets for impactful storytelling, such as the San Francisco Chronicle and the Washington Post, and offers a streamlined process for building "scrollytelling" stories with chapters and animated maps. Users can download the template from GitHub, configure it with their Mapbox access token, and adjust map views and layers to fit their narrative needs. Advanced customization involves uploading and styling data in Mapbox Studio to control layer visibility through opacity settings during the storytelling process. The template also supports easy online publishing via platforms like Glitch, facilitating the sharing of interactive stories enhanced by location-based data and visualizations.
