Good morning!
Welcome to "On the Net Today". Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we bring you a handpicked selection of three valuable and interesting online resources to help you get the most out of the internet and optimize your browsing time.
Here are the three resources we've prepared for today:
The New York Times analyzes key movie scenes with their directors
Datawrapper, excellent free data visualization tool
CNN ‘s weekly newsletter and podcast with five positive news stories
The New York Times analyzes key movie scenes with their directors
"Anatomy of a Scene" is a magnificent and original video proposal from the The New York Times video section, which analyzes key scenes from newly released movies with their directors.
These are usually videos between two and four minutes long that show a scene from the movie, and the director explains key aspects that help understand what is happening, why the scene is the way it is, what is intended to be achieved, and many other curious and interesting details about it.
For cinema lovers, it is a magnificent opportunity to better understand each movie and delve into the meaning of certain scenes.
The videos are available both in the NYT video section and on their YouTube channel.
Below are several "scene anatomies" from the movies "Wicked", "Conclave", and "Inside Out 2":

Datawrapper, excellent free data visualization tool
Datawrapper is one of the best data visualization tools that exist on the internet. It allows the creation of graphics, tables, and maps of all kinds without the user needing to have programming knowledge.
The first version of Datawrapper was launched in February 2012. Today, this tool is used by hundreds of media outlets and companies worldwide to visually display all types of data. The success of Datawrapper lies in the simplicity, effectiveness, and quality of its solutions.
Datawrapper offers a powerful free option that can be more than sufficient for many users. Additionally, it provides paid options with additional services.
Datawrapper publishes a blog where all product updates are shared and also has an educational space (Academy) to help users master the tool.
If you want to discover visualizations of all kinds created with Datawrapper, you can visit River, where graphics, maps, and data are constantly being published. Moreover, among the newsletters offered by Datawrapper is the weekly Data Vis Dispatch, which provides a selection of the best data visualizations published worldwide using Datawrapper during the last seven days.
In the friendly newsletter Tendenci@s - written by Ismael Nafría, one of the two authors of "Hoy en internet" - an interview was published with Datawrapper's co-founder and CEO, David Kokkelink, in which this magnificent project is discussed in depth.
