Abstract

In this work, we assess objectivity in online news media. We propose to use topic independent features and we show in a cross-domain experiment that with standard bag-of-word models, classifiers implicitly learn topics. Our experiments revealed that our methodology can be applied across different topics with consistent classification performance.
