Eurasia paper: Organizations/People

  • Easiest solution: use GDELT results for this

  • See spreadsheet - it has both NewsBank and GDELT results together

  • If there is anything “weird” with GDELT results, we can manually search for those keywords on NewsBank data

Eurasia paper: methods section

  • Methods section google doc

  • Not clear: How much of GDELT are we using?

  • Replace Tables with NewsBank tables instead?

  • No way to separate “Cooperation” vs “Other” events from NewsBank

Final slide

  • Finish analysis/paper soon

  • Brief discussion about drugs paper in JCR

  • Question about tax docs

  • Anything else?
