PageOneX

Principal Investigator Ethan Zuckerman

Co-investigator Pablo Rey Mazon


PageOneX is a tool to visualize the evolution of stories on newspaper front pages. Newspaper front pages are a key source of data about our media ecology. Newsrooms spend massive time and effort deciding what stories make it to the front page. PageOneX makes coding and visualizing newspaper front page content much easier, democratizing access to newspaper attention data. Communication researchers have analyzed newspaper front pages for decades, using slow, laborious methods. PageOneX simplifies, digitizes, and distributes the process across the net and makes it available for researchers, citizens and activists.
