Abstract

News media serve as a repository of location data, whether embedded in datelines or news feature content. This study explores how to leverage these data to visualize the regional distribution of risk and benefit news themes associated with reporting on marine aquaculture, a growing domestic industry with complex social and ecological impacts. We extracted geographic content (place names) from news articles about aquaculture risk and/or benefit using natural language processing, geocoded articles by their focal location, and qualitatively validated theme-location associations for geospatial analysis. We present emergent results from this analysis and provide recommendations for applying or integrating this methodology in interdisciplinary team science.
