FiveThirtyEight, a well-known data journalism site, has abruptly ceased operations, resulting in the loss of approximately 80% of its content. Previously, links to past projects were accessible, but now they redirect to an outdated ABC News politics page. This sudden disappearance means a significant amount of valuable data journalism work is no longer available. However, the FiveThirtyEight GitHub page remains active, offering datasets that could be useful for educational purposes or for creating charts, like those about candy preferences. These resources are still online, but their future availability is uncertain.
