POLITICAL POLARIZATION
An Analysis of Polarization in the American Media Sphere
Home: Welcome
METHODOLOGY
Using the Twitter API, in combination with an archive of Trump's entire tweet history, and a Kaggle datasource containing a body of text agglomerating news from 15 different media sources, I performed polarization and sentiment analyses on the different pieces of text, to discover trends in the objective polarization of both Twitter and the news over time, and to see how it tracks with Trump's increasingly inflammatory rhetoric.
