PageOneX newsletter: All you need to now for the fall

[pablo rey]

Hi there,

It's been a while since my last email to this PageOneX user's list.. I've tried to encourage people to submit their research and problems through this channel of communication, with no success :(

Here is a compilation of all the things related to PageOneX that had happened in the past weeks. From now on, I hope I can make this more often.

Esta es una lista de correo bilingüe inglés-español, puedes escribir también en español si quieres. Me estoy plantenado cambiar el idioma por defecto al español, en vista de que la mayoría de casos son creados en ese idioma. Dime si te gustaría recibir este boletín de noticias en español.

Feaured threads

There have been good threads on PageOneX recently. I list here some of them:


Protesters or Vandals? How the traditional media approached Brazilian protests in June 2013 by Débora Leal. Thread available at PageOnex: Violence x Protest


How 3 Colombian newspapers covered the agricultural strike? My analysis with @pageonex (in Spanish) by @Amelrame.
Based in the thread in PageOneX: Análisis Paro Agrario.



The collapse of Pescanova in Galizian newsapers by @mcshuibhne. He analyses how the local newspapers from the Galicia, a region in Spain covered the collapse of the food company, debt of €3.6bn. I found interesting how he used the tool: highlighting in red the absence of coverage on the topic, and then classifing by type of heading (importance by h1, h2, h3). The percentage of surface is not useful in this case.
Based in the thread in PageOneX Pescanova.


#occupyGezi coverage in Turkish and International newspapers vs Twitter  Check the live threads at PageOneX OccupyGezi in International newspapers and OcccupyGezi in Turkish newspapers  Coded with @matrushka, @bilgenkurt and @numeroteca.

I've opened myself a month by month on Spanish corruption coverage. You can check all the threads unter the colorcorrupción category or in the specific Tumblr colorcorrupcion.tumblr.com. Besides the daily analysis, I've started a monthly review (September 2013) with more graphics using the export data feature at PageOneX.

Based in the thread Corruption in Spain in September 2013.

If you wan to see your thread featured here or in the blog, just shoot me an email!

There is also a gallery of PageOneX cases at Pinterest.

PageOneX development

We changed the license of the code to a GNU AGPL v3, that suits better a web app like PageOneX, after the suggestion by a user related to the GNU project.

Some folks are trying to make their own PageOneX deployment in Heroku or elsewhere. We included an installation guide in the wiki and how to do it in Heroku. thanks to David Cabo for he advice.

There had been a lot of small improvements to make the tool more robust. Check the commits! With Edward L. Platt and Rahul Bhargava, from the Center of Civic Media, we keep fixing bugs.

Coverage of PageOneX
There was an interesting article/interview in eldiario.es, a Spanish online newspaper, on PageOneX: Analyzing newspaper discourse with free software (Spanish) by @PauLlop.

PageOneX was featured in Euskadi Innova a public website for innovation in the Basque Country.

There was a post on PageOneX for the 6th congress on Research on Information and Communication in Madrid, Spain.
