Syria Deeply is a very cool exploration of the Syrian Conflict.  From a digital storytelling standpoint and a international relations student standpoint, I like  the daily executive summaries of the conflict, the map which helps visualize the conflict, and the timeline for looking back on important moments in the conflict. I also like that that header includes a count of how many days have passed thus far in the conflict.  I think for long ongoing stories, the team at Syria Deeply is onto something interesting.
