Re: Rebuilding Local News

Thank you, Felipe. It alleviates my worries that these civics, media, and technology topics have already been and are being considered by others including in the contexts of media ethics.

With respect to utilizing advancements to natural-language processing and AI to measure news content:

https://jigsaw.google.com/

Jigsaw is a unit within Google that explores threats to open societies and builds technology that inspires scalable solutions.

https://www.gdeltproject.org/

Supported by Google Jigsaw, the GDELT Project monitors the world's broadcast, print, and web news from nearly every corner of every country in over 100 languages and identifies the people, locations, organizations, themes, sources, emotions, counts, quotes, images and events driving our global society every second of every day, creating a free open platform for computing on the entire world.

The GDELT Project came from a desire to better understand global human society and especially the connection between communicative discourse and physical societal-scale behavior. The vision of the GDELT Project is to codify the entire planet into a computable format using all available open information sources that provides a new platform for understanding the global world.

The GDELT project desires to better understand dynamics beyond the ones I broached (negativity, sensationalism, consumer demand, resultant production, content-distribution algorithms, feedback loops, anxiety, mood). The GDELT project came from a desire to better understand dynamics between communicative discourse and physical societal-scale behavior.


Best regards,
Adam
