 What I found useful...
Storytelling with maps from the ESRI: they publish story maps with three goals: To showcase interesting and important topics; to explore techniques and best practices for map-based storytelling; and to help enable people to make their own story maps.Examples I found interesting were Renewable energy; 50 largest container ports; Refugee camps; Top 10 most damaging Hurricanes; Population 7 Million;
