Source code & datasets are on GitHub
Political leaning of US news media sources
• 24 news media
• Jaccard for closeness
• Global network positioning (GNP) to scale
media bias measure, named ADA (Americans for Democratic Action) score
Similarly, @GM and
@Avis are very close in
the low-dimensional
embedding. Again, this
makes sense as “[s]ince
the late 1970s, Avis has
featured mainly General
Motors (GM) vehicles”…
…are still useful for
online advertising…
“lifestyle politics” can be studied by using co-following information…
Polarity of Turkish News Media
• Meet/min
• Weighted Graph
• Community Detection
– A modularity based method (Gephi)
Visualizations Beyond 1-D
• Media similarity matrix with D3
– Similarity view
• Selective exposure or blinkers ?
– Cluster view (weak validation)
• List of newspapers in Turkey (Wiki)
• Dogan Media Group (Wiki)
• Former Milli Gorus (Facebook post)
• Gulen Movement (Today’s Zaman)
• Socialism, Leftism (Radikal)
• Nationalism, Kemalism (Tweet)
Turkish Media in 2D
• Multidimensional Scaling (sklearn.manifold.MDS)
– Similarity to distance matrix
• Turkish media networks (Force Atlas Layout 2, Gephi)
– Force Directed Drawing
• Colors are for 11 clusters
Political Groups & News Media
• Media Preference of Five Groups in Turkey
• Group Descriptiveness of the Turkish Media
– Bar length = (similarity of party x to media y) / (sum of all party sims to y)
AKP
DD-CSS
• Data-driven Computational Social Science
– is an effort to build new tools to help collect and analyze social media data
– I did not know about any data collection tools (now there is a list)
– tools for network analysis Gephi, Pajek and UCINET
– powered by Flask, a highly modular microframework for Python
DD-CSS Demo
• http://dd-css.com/
• US-senate.csv
Commentary Tweets of the Elites
• Curated tweets of opinion-shapers and newsmakers
• By nediyor.com and theplazz.com news sites
• Commentaries on important events (news that have
made to headlines) between Jan 2013 and Jan 2015.
– “our visitors are plugged into the national conversation
through up-to-date commentary that is insightful, humorous,
combative, thought-provoking and just plain newsworthy.”
Early findings…
• http://talhaoz.com/news/
• https://plot.ly/~toz/199/turkish-newsmaker-commentators-by-profession-curated-by-nediyorcom/
Politics…
• Newsworthy Tweet Counts of TR Parties plotly
• http://talhaoz.com/news/US-Congress-Commentators.html
– Politician counts curated
– Activity of these politicians
– Which events/news got the most attention
– When comment-count differences maximized
Wrap Up
• Detecting Media Conglomerate and Groups using Twitter
• Political Group Descriptiveness of the News Media
• DD-CSS: A social media data collection platform
• Commentary Tweets of the Elites and Congresspeople
• Turkish Election Maps and Scenario Analysis
