NewsResearch & Academia

Search the world's news with GDELT, the open project that monitors online news in 65 languages and decades of US television news, and works out what each story is about and how positively it is told. No account or API key is needed. Search articles back to 2017 and the individual sentences a phrase appears in; chart how coverage and its tone move over time, split by language or by publishing country; and search television by what was said on air, written on screen or shown on camera.

Steps your workflow can run in GDELT.

Search news articlesSearch worldwide online news coverage in 65 languages, back to 2017. Match on words, a GDELT theme, the country or language the story was published in, the website it came from, or how positive or negative it is.
Chart news coverage over timeChart how much a topic was covered, and how positively, over time. Choose a share of all coverage, a raw article count, the average tone, or a breakdown by language or publishing country. A breakdown returns one line per language or country GDELT monitors, so the ones with no coverage at all are left out, and 'How many lines' keeps just the busiest of the rest.
Chart the tone of coverageShow how positive or negative the coverage of a topic is, as a histogram: one bin per tone score, how many articles landed in it, and a sample of those articles.
Search sentences in the newsFind the individual sentences a phrase appears in rather than whole articles, with the lines either side for context. Good for reading what was actually said about something.
Search television news clipsSearch the closed captions of US and international television news and get the matching fifteen-second clips, each with its station, show, air time and a link to watch it in the Internet Archive.
Chart television coverage over timeChart how much television airtime a topic took over time, as a share of everything each station broadcast so stations of different sizes can be compared directly.
Rank television stations or showsSee which stations or which shows covered a topic most, as a ranked list.
List words said alongside a topic on TVList the words spoken most often in the clips that match a television search, which shows what the coverage of a topic was actually about.
List television stationsList every television station GDELT monitors, with its market, its network, and the dates its coverage runs between.
Chart what TV said and showed over timeChart how often something was said aloud, written on screen or shown on camera, using GDELT's AI annotations of television news rather than the closed captions alone.

List AI television stationsList the stations covered by GDELT's AI television annotations, with the dates their coverage runs between.
