The Global News Index is a collection of news articles and extracted textual features curated by the Cline Center, specifically designed to provide comprehensive coverage of events around the world. In addition to searching documents for keywords, Global News Index users can query metadata and extracted features - such as named entities extracted using Natural Language Processing methods and variables that measure sentiment and emotional valence. The Global News Index has been used in several Cline Center research programs, as well as nearly 50 external projects.
