The Postcode Newspaper

Newspaper Club, a service created to help people make their own newspapers, has been experimenting with the newly released beta of Data.gov.uk – and with impressive results.

Aimed at informing UK home movers, the system will mine freely-available data on a given postcode – including local services, environmental information and crime statistics – and then format the results into a newspaper for ease of consumption.

Aside from being incredibly useful, the presentation of the data is also beautifully crafted and immediately readable.
