After Joseph Kony led the Lord's Resistance Army into the war-torn eastern Congo, Invisible Children and Digitaria created the LRA Crisis Tracker in 2009, which includes an early-warning radio network that broadcasts the incidents to the rest of the world.  The Crisis Tracker Web site displays the information graphically on a map, accompanied by a dynamic graph along the bottom showing the number of incidents in bars. Multimedia is integrated -- for example, with video showing victims of specific atrocities in specific locales.
