Abstract

BreakingStory is an interactive system for visualizing change in online news. The system regularly collects the text from the front pages of international daily news web sites. It allows users to search over the collection and view the results graphically, as well as in tabular and full text formats. Results from the system are shown over time, and can be filtered by geography. The design of the system draws on research from the fields of news analysis and information visualization, and was developed using a user-centered design process that included interviews, rapid prototyping, and informal user testing.
