Dissertation – Topic Models
This page includes visualizations of the topic models that I used to dig deeper into the narratives that emerged during this investigation. Feel free to explore the visualizations to get a better sense of how each topic illuminated these economic narratives.
Topic modeling was a central component of the first study of my dissertation. The first study, which examined news coverage during both disruption and policy inflection policy points, used topic modeling to interrogate the storytelling practices and grand narrative influences that shaped how discourse in newsprint began to make sense of difficult economic times.
