Visualizing the connections between buried news stories
WantToKnow.info provides concise summaries of buried/under-reported news stories from reliable media sources. I transformed WantToKnow.info's news summaries database into an easy-to-work-with dataset, and used this as a starting point to begin mapping the connections between news stories. I then applied some basic natural language processing (NLP) including named entity recognition (NER), and created a couple of interactive visualizations using Kumu.io.

Ten Years of Economic System Corruption map - https://kumu.io/Mark-Bailey/ten-years-of-economic-system-corruption
Everything was done in python 3.6. You can find the Jupyter notebooks used to build the maps in this video at this repo - https://github.com/ma-da/misc-share/

Great work on this. I recently did a video somewhat on a similar topic (fake news). MSM has a problem.
Cool - I'll check it out!
Wow. This is something! I'd like to talk with you more about this, @mada. Can you email me at brandon@theperiphery.com? I may like to feature this on a video on my channel.
Thanks, @fedoraonmyhead! I will shoot you an email in the next couple of days.
Greatly appreciating all your work on this project.
