We are currently working on a project ‘Contextual News’ that puts news events and articles into context, making it easy for you to compare contrasting opinions on the same event across countries and political spectrums. Our analysis today is around the recent North Korea ‘Intercontinental’ Missile Test event which is across tabloid headlines worldwide.

Below we have taken 11 news articles of the initial coverage from a variety of English, German and Russian news sources. Our interest is in how article opinion and focus changes based on the different sources and their reactions to those involved in the news event.

We are using algorithms to summarise each article and break it down into entities, with both a relevance score and sentiment/emotion towards that entity. Below we have graphed out the data we found. Skim through the summaries, check out the articles that interest you and compare the data.

Let us know if you find it interesting or helpful, we’d love the feedback!
