Both the NYTimes and the Washington Post have graphs showing the deaths due to the covid-19 virus over the days since Mar. 1. The Post's graph is on the front page, spanning one column, which represents 1/6 of the width of the paper. The Times' graph is on page 4, in their coronavirus update column, which is double width--two columns.
I've not measured the height scale, but the general effect is that the Post's graph shows a steep decline after a vertical rise in cases while the Times shows a much more gradual decline. Same data, different impressions.
