'WHAT IS IT?

Sentimentalyst (“Sentiment Analyst”) is a web application that uses natural language processing to compare news coverage about specific stories. It's a tool to encourage those who rely on the Internet as their primary news source to broaden their media diets. Sentimentalyst analyzes 3 aspects of reportage: the headline; the underlying positive and negative emotions; and the word count—and displays the data in infographs on the website. In the end, you get a visualization of comparative news analysis on topics that interest you. Sentimentalyst encourages users to broaden their media diets and read information from sources they would otherwise not seek out. There are many ways to tell a story. Should you trust just one?'
