Abstract

NewsVis provides the groundwork for a new kind of visualization to explore the news in a guided and manipulable fashion. With access to a large news data set, the tool provides control over news data by mapping a collection of news based on their similarity and dissimilarity into a two-dimensional space, which illustrates the most similar news in red and the opposite in blue. Thus showing a context the readers have not yet read. The tool applies query string analysis to a collection of text data. The resulting graphs show a total and individual occurrences of given query strings over a selected time period. News holding the selected query strings are also published sequentially as a list in the tool interface. NewsVis helps user to compare occurrences of specific news data, to discover cultural and historical trends and facts, challenge their assumptions to reveal hidden pictures.
