Countries Mentioned
On Feb 23th, we observe that Ukraine is the only one country that has been mentioned for multiple times. Then, during the following days, Russia and US have been mentioned for several times. We find a interested fact that US has been mentioned with a very high frequency for many days. This may indicate that the war between Russia and Ukraine is actual the battle between Russia and US.
Ukraine States Mentioned
Ukraine capital city Kyiv is the one that been mentioned for the highest frequency. This is acceptable, since Kyiv is the country's heart and all the information as well as decisions will be announced from Kyiv. Then, the border states near Russia are also been mentioned for multiple times, because these states are where the war occurs.
Observation
We found that GPE, which represents the countries, cities and states, were parsed the most times. Among them, Ukraine significantly appears the most times, and Russia appears the second most. Also, Moscow and Kyiv appear many times. There are two reasons. First, we all know that Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, which became the most remarkable news around the world. As the conflict continues to intensify, more and more countries are speaking out and getting involved, like the US, China. Second, When we describe a news process, the description of the location is indispensable. Therefore, GPE could be identified up to several times.
Observation
Comparing the above three graphs, we can see that Putin is mentioned the most in the news in Aljazeera News and CNN news, and Biden is mentioned the most in the Fox news. This may be because Fox news media pay more attention to local news in the US. In addition, we can also find that the distribution of a PERSON entity appearing in CNN declines more slowly, while the distribution of PERSON in the remaining two media outlets is mostly concentrated in top2.
Observation
Three news sources have the same highest frequency which is Russian and following by Urkrainian. For other NORP, three news sources share the same magnitudes of frequencies. Thus, in this case, we think they do not have many differencies in NORP part.
Observation
The differency occurs in the highest frequency part that CNN is CNN, Fox is Fox while Aljazeera is GMT. Each company has their owm focus in ORG part. Since the news companies are also companies, it is reasonable that they focus on themselves. Getting rid of the first one, three news sources share the similar frequencies.
Observation
Three news sources share the same top three frequencies Ukraine, Russia and US. They do not have many differencies in GPE part.
Observation
Europe share the hottest LOC among three news sources. Three news sources have very similar frequencies by Observating the bar plot.
