White Paper & Visualization

LDA TOPIC MODELLING OF COVID-19 MEDIA COVERAGE IN UGANDA

This was exploratory and experimental research to find out which topics stood out in Ugandan media coverage of Covid-19 according to a machine learning method called LDA Topic Modelling, which employs a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique.

Communicating COVID-19

The research project “Communicating COVID-19” examines international news coverage of the ongoing spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We use a combination of communication research methods and data science tools to identify main topics emphasized in the news coverage of different languages and update our results weekly.

​

We currently have results based on the news coverage in several countries and regions including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Egypt, Germany, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Uganda. I am in charge of data collection, data analysis, and topic modeling of Uganda.
