Hi all,
Over the past few months I've been doing some research on how Wikipedia uses the news media. Specifically, I've compiled a dataset of about 250 news websites and the number of times Wikipedia links to each of them. I've chatted with a few of you about this work and I wanted to share my preliminary findings with you all to get your thoughts and feedback
Here is my (very preliminary) writeup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GabrielF/NewsCitations
I'm still working on this, but I would greatly appreciate any thoughts that you might have on either the methodology or the results before I present it to the Wikipedia community at large.
Best wishes, Gabe
