Data-driven Approach to Measuring the Level of Press Freedom Using Media Attention Diversity from Unfiltered News
نویسندگان
چکیده
Published by Reporters Without Borders every year, the Press Freedom Index (PFI) reflects the fear and tension in the newsroom pushed by the government and private sectors.

In this work, we introduce an alternative way to measure the level of press freedom using media attention diversity compiled from Unfiltered News.
