Cartography looks at the maps generated by news organizations covering the riots in France (which began in the suburbs of Paris and have since spread), and finds them generally wanting. Frankly, as someone who’s spent time in Paris and am reasonably familiar with the area (though my total experience in the banlieue is no more than a single day trip to Nanterre), I’m disappointed that apparently no one could produce a map with some neighbourhood detail, particularly in comparison with what was produced in fairly short order after the London bombings. Would it be asking too much to at least have the municipal boundaries?

Mind you, the sources cited were all English-language; I imagine the French media has done a better job.
