Apologies for cross-posting. I thought many of you might find of great interest my latest collaboration with the Internet Archive - this time to create a new research visualization tool that allows you to visualize two million hours of television news programming spanning the last 7 years. In particular, there are all kinds of fascinating questions that can be explored here re how a topic is being discussed online versus on MSM television news. You can specify any keyword and/or context keywords (allowing you to run a "near" search like "clinton NEAR email) and create a timeline charting by day how it has appeared in American television news over time and what networks focus the most on it. Unlike the Archive's primary Television News interface, which returns results at the level of an hour or half-hour "show," the interface here reaches inside of those six years of programming and breaks the more than one million shows into individual sentences and counts how many of those sentences contain the given keyword. Thus, instead of reporting that CNN had 24 hour-long shows yesterday that mentioned Donald Trump one or more times, this tool counts how many sentences uttered on CNN yesterday mentioned his name - a vastly more accurate metric for assessing media attention. CSV and JSON output are also available to make it easy to import the timeline into the analytic package of your choice like R or simply Excel for further analysis. More features will be coming over the next few months. http://blog.archive.org/2016/12/20/new-research-tool-for-visualizing-two-mil... http://television.gdeltproject.org/cgi-bin/iatv_ftxtsearch/iatv_ftxtsearch Kalev http://kalevleetaru.com/ http://blog.gdeltproject.org/
