新闻网站可以促进关于公民问题的全球讨论,但管理这些论坛的财务成本和负担迫使许多人关闭了评论系统。在本文中,我们考虑了数据可视化在围绕公民问题的在线讨论中发挥的作用,通过分析人们如何在三个新闻网站的评论线程中谈论气候变化数据(即,布莱巴特新闻、卫报、纽约时报)。我们发现,在6,525条评论中,只有2.4%的文章引用了数据可视化。虽然很少,但本文提供了人们如何参考数据的说明性例子-他们的收集,分析和视觉表示-参与文章的叙述。使用文本分类技术,我们确定了几个功能相关的内容的评论,包含数据为中心的谈话,如文章余弦相似性,超链接和比较条款。最后,我们讨论了新闻编辑室可能应用这种分析来促进数据素养、数据科学以及围绕共享经验培养社区的潜在方式。
News websites can facilitate global discussions about civic issues, but the financial cost and burden of moderating these forums has forced many to disable their commenting systems. In this paper, we consider the role that data visualizations play in online discussion around a civic issue, through an analysis of how people talk about climate change data in the comment threads at three news websites (i.e., Breitbart news, the Guardian, the New York Times). We find that out of 6,525 comments, only 2.4% reference data visualizations in the articles. While rare, the paper presents illustrative examples of how people refer to data---their collection, analysis, and visual representation---to engage with an article's narrative. Using text classification techniques we identify several features related to the content of comments that contain data-centered talk, such as article cosine similarity, hyperlinks, and comparison terms. Finally, we discuss potential ways that newsrooms might apply this analysis to promote data literacy, data science, and to foster community around shared experiences.
