Development of an Automated News Content Monitoring and Bias Analysis Platform

The organization faces difficulties managing the vast and fluctuating volume of online news sources, hindering the ability to efficiently discern source reliability and bias. Manual data collection and analysis are time-consuming, limiting the scope and speed of research related to conflict zones, media landscape, and public opinion tracking over time.

A research-focused organization or think tank specializing in conflict analysis, media bias assessment, and third-party dialogue facilitation, seeking advanced tools to streamline news data collection and analysis.

• Automate the collection and processing of news articles from various online sources, including major news aggregators like Google News.
• Enable users to create and manage customizable search term lists with filtering parameters to refine data retrieval.
• Develop tools for managing news sources, assessing their reliability, and evaluating bias levels.
• Provide an intuitive user interface for filtering, reviewing, and organizing collected news data.
• Increase efficiency of news content monitoring, reducing manual effort and processing time.
• Facilitate long-term media analysis to support conflict research and policy decision-making.

• Tools for creating, managing, and customizing search terms with multiple filtering parameters.
• Mechanisms for managing news source websites and rating their credibility and bias.
• Automated data collection from online news outlets and aggregation services.
• User interface for filtering, sorting, and reviewing collected news data.
• Analytics components for bias and reliability scoring of news sources and articles.
• Data visualization and reporting modules to support long-term media trend analysis.
