在本文中,我们提出了有线和广播新闻网络对COVID-19报道的数据集。我们的数据集涵盖了2020年1月21日至2020年6月12日之间的时间段,包括44,643个根据与COVID-19的相关性手动标记的文本段落,以及486,068个使用监督分类器进一步标记的段落。我们进一步提供描述性分析,显示网络覆盖大流行的程度的差异以及这种覆盖的内容如何变化。我们独特的短语分析还表明,有线新闻网络,特别是福克斯新闻和微软全国广播公司,正在将COVID-19政治化。该数据集可用于模拟和描述有线电视和广播新闻网络在塑造COVID-19态度和行为方面所起的作用,以及报道与外部事件(例如COVID-19病例数)、其他媒体(例如报纸)的报道以及社交媒体(例如Twitter)上的COVID-19对话之间的关系。COVID-19有线和广播新闻数据集向研究界公开,可通过https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/LWMYAD访问。
In this paper, we present a dataset of COVID-19 coverage by cable and broadcast news networks. Our dataset, which spans the time period between January 21, 2020 and June 12, 2020, includes 44,643 transcript paragraphs that are manually labeled according to their relevance to COVID-19 and 486,068 paragraphs that are further labeled using supervised classifiers. We further provide descriptive analysis that shows differences in the degree to which networks covered the pandemic and how the content of this coverage varied. Our distinctive phrase analysis also suggests that cable news networks, particularly Fox News and MSNBC, are politicizing COVID-19. This dataset can be leveraged to model and characterize the role cable and broadcast news networks play in shaping COVID-19 attitudes and behaviors, as well as how the coverage was related to external events (e.g. the number of COVID-19 cases), coverage in other media (e.g. newspapers), and COVID-19 conversations on social media (e.g. Twitter). The COVID-19 cable and broadcast news dataset is publicly available to the research community, and can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/LWMYAD.
