Aspects generate an interactive plotted electronic map presentation which depicts historical progression of events of a news story. Historical news content stories are searched for and retrieved from one or more news media sources as a function of including a common key perspective topic, and of association with an incident geographic location and occurrence time. A graphical user interface display device is driven to indicate on a map of geographic locations a location of an initial event of the historical news content that has an earliest time of occurrence relative to the news story incident and other events, and to plot a time line curve from a point of origin at the mapped initial event location as a function of a relation over time of the total numbers of the historical news content stories to respective times of publication.
