We were curious what the tool would tell us around the reliance on some of our tried and true media sources. So we ran some queries and examined the volume of discussion online around old (@Nytimes, @WSJ, @Usatoday) and new media (@Buzzfeed, @Mashable, @HuffPost). To help visualize this data, we developed an Infographic that captures the results - while our love for social platforms may be strong, we still rely heavily on media stalwarts, and the numbers back this up.
Take a look below to see what publication came out on top and the interesting ways the US Government Shutdown is being talked about on two of the most popular sources, The New York Times and Buzzfeed.
