GeoTopics collects information from news sources around the world on a daily basis.

The entry page shows the current day's hot (most frequently cited) topics, most frequently cited places, and most frequently cited companies. The red and grey bars beside each item represent, respectively, how frequently they were cited on the current day vs. the preceding day.

Looking at collections and individual documents. You should be able to navigate these document collections by clicking on the hot links. Use the back button of your Web browser to return to the home page.

Some pages may spawn additional browsers. Some news sources may require sign-up or subscription before allowing you to view the full article. GeoTopics has no control over these issues.

Browsing. You can compare the current news analysis results with previous day's results. By clicking on the left-arrow icon beside the current date information, you can see the previous day's results. To come back to the current result page from the previous result page, please click on the right-arrow icon.

Interacting with the map. The Top 20 Places are displayed on the map as red circles. To see the news articles that referenced one of those places click on the red circle in the map.

Additonal Assistance. For questions or problems, please send e-mail to GeoTopics@isi.edu

Disclaimer: GeoTopics is simply a more convenient way of breaking up a large collection of search results, in order to enable users to make decisions about which to examine more closely. We can take no responsibility for errors of omission or comission concerning the selection of documents, and have no control over the contents of the materials found.
