Inspiration

Times Group as a news agency, reaches out a very wide audience across Asia and drawfs every other agency in the quantity of English articles published per day. Due to the heavy daily volume (avg. 600 articles) over multiple years, this data offers a deep insight into Indian society, its priorities, events, issues and talking points and how they have unfolded over time.

It is possible to chop this dataset into a smaller piece based on one or more facets.

• Time Range: Headlines during 2006 Mumbai bombings, 2014 election, ongoing health crisis
• One or more Categories: like Citywise, Bollywood, ICC updates, Magazine, Middle East
• One or more Keywords: like crime or ecology related tokens, names of political parties, celebrities, corporations.
