Dear AoIR community,
Are any of you aware of studies utilising network methodologies to examine the media industry?
I'm trying to dig into the subject of corporate media bias from a network perspective, but so far I haven't found much on the topic in literature. I found numerous network analyses of user behaviour on social media, yet very little research concerning the news sources themselves.
I'd greatly appreciate any help!
Best, Krzysztof Cybulski
