Earlier this year we unveiled a massive new database of facial embeddings spanning one full year across seven Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian television channels covering more than a quarter-billion seconds of airtime. Today we are immensely excited to announce its expansion: an immense 14-year archive covering CNN, MSNBC and Fox News from June 2009 to June 2023, spanning more than 5,100 days over the three channels for a combined total of 367,000 hours (22M minutes / 1.3B seconds) of airtime examined. In all, more than 315 million appearances of human faces across the three channels were identified (103M faces on CNN, 102M on MSNBC and 109M on Fox News). This immense new archive can be examined in the exact same way as the Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian television news archive.

With the 2024 campaign cycle starting to heat up, we are excited to see how journalists will be able to leverage this massive archive, which will begin live-updating over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for an exciting new analysis later this week showcasing how to work with it.
