News Reading From mainstream media to social media
Are people missing anything by getting more
and more of their news through social media?
What happens if they switch completely?
What happens if they don't switch at all?
Comparing Events Coverage in Online News and Social Media: The Case of Climate Change. A. Olteanu, C. Castillo, N. Diakopoulos, K. Aberer. ICWSM 2015.
Our approach
● Focus on one issue: climate change
● Focus on events, e.g. release of a study
○ Drives media coverage of this topic [Schmidt et al. 2013]
● Focus on one social media platform: Twitter
○ Large user base, significant emphasis on news
● Use a large source of online news: GDELT
○ Huge collection of online news articles

What are "Climate Change" news?
UNFCCC definition
«A change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity
that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to
natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.»
News within the climate change frame
Defining the problem, diagnosing its causes, making a moral judgment, or
suggesting a remedy [Kuypers 2009]
Data 17 months

Distribution of events
Comparing Events Coverage in Online News and Social Media: The Case of Climate Change. A. Olteanu, C. Castillo, N. Diakopoulos, K. Aberer. ICWSM 2015.
Twitter: less interest in meetings, publications,
more interest on individuals, orig. journalism
News: more interest on disasters, meetings
News values [Galtung and Rouge 1965, Harcup and O’Neill 2001, Stovall 2004, ...]
Both media tend to cover events that are:
● extraordinary
● unpredictable
● of moderate and high magnitude
● negative or neutral
● not involving conflict
● not involving elite persons

News values differences
Comparing Events Coverage in Online News and Social Media: The Case of Climate Change. A. Olteanu, C. Castillo, N. Diakopoulos, K. Aberer. ICWSM 2015.
Extraordinary Ordinary
Twitter 76% 24%
News 84% 16%
Both 80% 20%
Both tend to focus on
extraordinary, high-
magnitude news …
but Twitter also cover
ordinary, low-magnitude
news
Both differences significant at p<0.05
High Medium Low
Twitter 25% 55% 20%
News 34% 55% 11%
Both 29% 55% 16%
Conclusions
Overlap in events around 22% to 25%
Don't get your news from only one of them
Publications on the effects of climate change
covered even if not endorsed by elite persons
Methodology in the paper is generic: can be
applied to any topic e.g. racism or immigration
