Each dot represents a website or online news article. When selecting a site, its associated keywords are shown in a radial diagram, derived from scraping the original URL and analysing the content computationally.

The visualization highlights how different sectors reported on the coronavirus, the relationships between content through shared keywords, and how discourse shifted over time – from when the content first appeared to when it disappeared from the live web.

The visualization illustrates uneven distribution within the archive and across Scotland’s COVID-19 coverage, dominated by Media and News, with smaller proportions in Government and Education.
