Who masters the debate and through which communication channels

Introduction

Visualization aim is to highlight who is talking, who dominates the debate and the channels through which they are speaking.

How to read the visualization

In the upper part of the visualization take place each speaker, the main element we want to highlight. The proportion represent the numerical presence of each speaker within the corpus. Starting from these element the flow is divided into several channels through which these speakers communicate and discuss the topic. Moving mouse selector over the elements in high places (and over the flows that start from them) you can select and see more clearly the links.

How it has been done

The csv file created for the visualization has been uploaded in Raw and represented through a Alluvial Diagram. The svg downloaded has been corrected and developed with the necessary information to best explain the data represented. It was chosen to represent all flows with the same color and has created an animation to allow those who displays to select only the individual speaker interesting to read the data.

Findings

Journalists and academics are the most interested and involved, they speak through specific channel. Journalists clearly prefer information sites, while academics write through more specific channels, such as blogs and university or research center sites.
