Introduction
I was interested in taking a look at the emotions of the states with the top 4 most-confirmed COVID-19 cases. By taking a look at one major news source from each of the states, I would be able to have a better visual understanding of whether a majority of the headlines were positive or negative. Specifically, how the media is portraying things when some states are in less than ideal situations. Are they trying to look on the bright side, or is it all bad news? I am also expecting that most of the news will have to do with the pandemic or vaccinations, but we shall see.
According to Becker’s Hospital Review, as of May 5th, the states struggling with a majority of the cases are:
- North Dakota
- Rhode Island
- South Dakota
- Utah
I will be comparing the emotions and sentiments of Inforum, WPRI, Keloland, FOX 13. As well as including word clouds to have a better look at which terms they are using the most.

Analysis
When it came to the emotions from the headlines of the news sources, all of the emotions were present. There was some “anticipation” present, perhaps due to the vaccination now being available and they are hopeful that life will gain a bit more normality. As well as it being Mother’s Day, and the celebrations being held for that. It cannot all be bad news, as there was quite a bit of positive language pulled from the websites. Perhaps in response to vaccinations or Mother’s Day, but there could be plenty of other reasons for that. However, there was a fair amount of negativity present, as is the standard when reading the news, whether it be from death or crime. Unsurprisingly, there was also quite a bit of fear, which could again be caused by a number of things. What primarily comes to mind is the pandemic, as well as crimes being committed and unfortunate incidents taking place.
It may come as no surprise that a certain buzzword that all four word clouds share in common is “COVID” or “Coronavirus”. Since this has been the big news for the last year, especially since these states are suffering from a rise in cases, there is obviously going to be a huge focus on it. Vaccinations were also mentioned here and there, but not as much as I was expecting. I thought there would be a higher frequency of that word being used. Since the headlines for these word clouds were pulled on May 9th, that is the reason why there is such a big emphasis on “mother” and “mom”.
