Abstract

BreakingStory is an interactive system for visualizing change in online news. The system regularly collects the text from the front pages of international daily news web sites. It allows users to search over the collection and view the frequency of occurrence of keywords in graphic, tabular, and full text formats. Results from the system are shown over time, and can be filtered geographically. The system was developed using a user-centered design process that included rapid prototyping and informal user testing. It provides a new way of viewing the news that incorporates a sense of history.
