Title: Data-driven Approach to Measuring the Level of Press Freedom Using Media Attention Diversity from Unfiltered News,
Abstract: Published by Reporters Without Borders every year, the Press Freedom Index
(PFI) reflects the fear and tension in the newsroom pushed by the government
and private sectors. While the PFI is invaluable in monitoring media
environments worldwide, the current survey-based method has inherent
limitations to updates in terms of cost and time. In this work, we introduce an
alternative way to measure the level of press freedom using media attention
diversity compiled from Unfiltered News.
