POLITICAL POLARIZATION

An Analysis of Polarization in the American Media Sphere

METHODOLOGY

DATA

Twitter | Trump's Twitter History | News Media Data (Kaggle) | Google Trends

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.
