Notes/Findings:

It was very challenging to come up with categories that would capture what I wanted to express in a formal analytical way. It is very hard to avoid very subject analysis when analyzing the news structures. Also getting isolated perspectives on a praticular event was challening progressive media seemed to analize events rathern then present them as a story or news report. Thes diffrence of content made direct comparison analysis challenging as well. For exmaple Znet had released a story on The US and Nepal on febuary 2nd but there was very little hedlining coverage in US corparate media.

Furthermore the type of analysis done would be very difficult for a computer algorithm to accomplish as many ‘judgment calls’ on content where made that could be argued in either direction.

I have a new found appreciation for the articles where their analysis was able to accurately capture some of the misrepresentation of underrepresented groups in the media.
