The news that people read online forms how they understand the world around them. To study the relationships between what news is reported and how that affects human behavior, researchers need an easy way to search through lots of news articles. NewsScribe is a tool that lets scientists, educators, students, and the public search through over 1.5 billion online news stories from around the world. It adds about 500,000 new stories every day to stay timely and relevant. NewsScribe makes it easy to find information without needing to create or seek out large volumes of text. It organizes news sources in different collections by location and topic. This organization helps researchers quickly find the stories that are relevant to the questions they are studying. The activities supported by this award include updating the software and data at the core of NewsScribe and adding new user-friendly features and visualizations to make the tool easier to use. NewsScribe makes it possible for different types of researchers to study patterns in news reporting from around the world in new ways, at broader scales, over the last few years or the last few days.There are many challenges involved in creating and maintaining such a large database while ensuring it will still be useful for so many different users. This project develops software that quickly collects and stores online news articles by processing them to pull out information like the publication date, language, and just the content of the article. New approaches to that process allow for pulling out more accurate data, handling more stories, and also returning search results faster. Various levels of alert systems notify the software team when some problem occurs with the daily processing of news stories, ensuring that the system is stable and reliable. The web-based search tools showing these results can sometimes hard to use, with a mix of tables of information, charts and graphs, and downloadable reports. Testing with current and new users guides continuing development of more user-friendly approaches, stabilizing the NewsScribe product and ensuring its long-term usefulness. The award supports not only the development of improved software but also establishing an advisory board of close partners who help guide how NewsScribe can best support the network of people who rely on it.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

人们在线阅读的消息构成了他们如何了解周围的世界。为了研究报告的新闻与如何影响人类行为之间的关系，研究人员需要一种简单的方法来搜索大量新闻文章。 Newsscribe是一种工具，可以使科学家，教育工作者，学生和公众通过来自世界各地的15亿多个在线新闻报道进行搜索。它每天增加约500,000个新故事，以保持及时和相关。 NewsScribe可以轻松找到信息，而无需创建或寻找大量文本。它按位置和主题按不同的收藏来组织新闻来源。该组织帮助研究人员迅速找到与他们正在研究的问题相关的故事。该奖项支持的活动包括更新NewsScribe核心的软件和数据，并添加新的用户友好功能和可视化功能，以使工具更易于使用。 NewsScribe使不同类型的研究人员可以以新的方式，更广泛的规模，过去几年或过去几天来研究来自世界各地的新闻报道的模式。在创建和维护如此大的数据库时，涉及许多挑战，同时确保它仍然对这么多不同的用户有用。该项目开发软件，通过处理诸如出版日期，语言和仅此文章内容之类的信息来迅速收集和存储在线新闻文章。该过程的新方法可以提取更准确的数据，处理更多的故事，并更快地返回搜索结果。当新闻报道的日常处理发生某些问题时，各种级别的警报系统会通知软件团队，以确保系统稳定且可靠。显示这些结果的基于Web的搜索工具有时很难使用信息，图表和图表以及可下载的报告。与当前和新用户一起进行测试，指导持续开发更具用户友好的方法，稳定新闻订阅产品并确保其长期实用性。该奖项不仅支持改进的软件的开发，而且还建立了一个密切合作伙伴的顾问委员会，他们有助于指导Newsscribe如何最好地支持依靠该奖项的人的网络。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来支持的。
