False News/True News

Concept

The idea is to compare the topics that people really care about and what big groups want us to see. The data contain two sets: popluar news vs top news. You can interact with these nodes, find and match the similar topics by moving different nodes and attach them together.


Description

In this project, I used retext.keywords in nodejs to analyze the keywords of a list of headline news in each day. All these datas are fetched from newsapi and Gnews. Here is a glimpse of my process below.


Process

Firstly, in p5js, I use api to fetch recent most popular news and each day's headlines. I clean the data and compile them into independent txt files. Secondly, in Nodejs and terminal, I run code with retext.js and get the keywords then load all of them into P5js for visualization
