Methodology

Exploring the relationship between topics

Pairs of terms which are mentioned together in media articles

Most trending social issues have been selected (e.g. 'metoo', 'gdpr')

The co-occurrence analysis is calculated for pairs consisting of emerging social issues and trending uni/bigrams

The number of times the terms appear in articles together with a social issue is divided by the number of times the social issue is mentioned across all articles

A single index is constructed for all word pairs by weighted average (taking into account the prevalence of the given source)
