Our newsroom developers have already created some pretty cool pieces with D3.js, like http://www.bostonglobe.com/2013/01/30/mai/yWQCjhK7lyBaqgqFra... and http://www.bostonglobe.com/2013/09/06/look-mayoral-race-camp...

We also have an Editor, Laura Amico, focused specifically on data journalism and interactive media, so I think you'll see more D3 use from us.
