I'd be curious to know what the stories in the timeline represent? Were these the best stories, the most improtantm the ones with the greatest impact?

Mike H:

The items in red along the bottom earned inclusion because they were notable for one reason or another. Maybe it had the most impact, or maybe it's the best, or the worst, or the most debated, or the most praised, or the most reviled work of journalism from that year. Or it's just plain interesting for some other reason.
