News analytics

News analytics is a way of analyzing the news that is published online. It uses computers to look at large amounts of data to figure out what is happening and where certain topics are talked about. For example, news analytics can look at articles across the internet to tell what topics are being discussed the most, or what stories are getting a lot of people’s attention. This helps people know what to focus on and what stories people are interested in.
