2016 Online News Candidate Tracker Unveiled

As the perfect complement to our 2016 Television Candidate Tracker, today we are unveiling our new 2016 Campaign Online News Tracker. Offering a nearly identical interface and metrics, this new tracker draws from GDELT's worldwide English language online news coverage monitoring, reflecting how many times each candidate is mentioned in the English language online news material monitored by GDELT each day. Only English language online news are reflected in these graphs – foreign translated material is not integrated in order to better reflect English and Western perspectives.

The results from this tracker will typically be very different than those of the television tracker, reflecting the strong differences between print and broadcast coverage of the 2016 race to date.
