Methodology

• Exploring the relationship between topics
• Pairs of terms which are mentioned together in media articles
• Most trending social issues and technologies have been selected (e.g. 'gdpr', '5G')
• The co-occurrence analysis is calculated for pairs consisting of emerging social issues and trending uni/bigrams
• The number of times the terms appear in articles together with a social issue is divided by the number of times the social issue is mentioned across all articles
• A single index is constructed for all word pairs by weighted average (taking into account the prevalence of the given source)
