NELA-Local

Dataset presented in paper \"NELA-Local: A Dataset of U.S. Local News Articles for the Study of County-level News Ecosystems\" We present a dataset of over 1.4M online news articles from 313 local U.S. news outlets published over 20 months (between April 4th, 2020 and December 31st, 2021). These outlets cover a geographically diverse set of communities across the United States. In order to estimate characteristics of the local audience, included with this news article data is a wide range of county-level metadata, including demographics, 2020 Presidential Election vote shares, and community resilience estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.本数据集收录于论文《NELA-Local：用于县级新闻生态系统研究的美国本地新闻文章数据集》（NELA-Local: A Dataset of U.S. Local News Articles for the Study of County-level News Ecosystems）。本数据集包含美国313家本地新闻机构发布的逾140万篇在线新闻文章，时间跨度达20个月，覆盖2020年4月4日至2021年12月31日。这些新闻机构覆盖了美国地理分布多元的各类社区。为了刻画本地受众特征，本数据集同步配套了多维度县级元数据，涵盖人口统计信息、2020年美国总统选举得票率，以及美国人口普查局（U.S. Census Bureau）发布的社区韧性评估结果。
