Scientists piece together EU media structure

PASCAL2 researchers have been involved in a study which analyses how influential the media is in shaping the news agenda in EU Member States.

The researchers, led by Professor Nello Cristianini of University of Bristol, evaluated more than 1 million news articles in 22 languages to identify the factors that make this impact felt. The study, the first mega content analysis of cross-linguistic text using artificial intelligence tools, is presented in the journal PLoS ONE.
