4. A system for graphically representing one or more referents associated with a plurality of stories, the system comprising: a data store that stores data associated with a plurality of stories, wherein the data associated with each story comprises referent data identifying one or more referents associated with the story; and a computing device in communication with the data store, the computing device operative to: determine, for each of the plurality of stories, a score for the story based at least in part on a number of times that the one or more referents of interest are referenced in at least a portion of content of the story, wherein the number of times that the one or more referents of interest are referenced is derived at least in part from the referent data stored in the data store; and generate for display a graphical representation of a subset of the plurality of stories, the graphical representation comprising a plurality of indicia, wherein each indicium of the plurality of indicia is associated with a different story of the subset of the plurality of stories, wherein the indicium for each story of the subset graphically indicates a strength of association between the story and the one or more referents of interest, and wherein the strength of association is determined based at least in part on the score for the story.
