Narrative Analysis
Partly available: framing and timing frames for one page. Cross-outlet narrative analysis is not available.
Narrative Analysis, in the sense of mapping sustained patterns of framing across outlets, is not available. What exists today is the framing and timing frames of a single-URL MAP record.
These frames describe structure that can be seen on the page. They are not an assessment of bias, accuracy or intent. MAP does not verify, score or rate content.
Presentation patterns of one page
Structural presentation patterns — listicle, opinion, live-update or standard format — and framing indicators such as urgency or high-engagement phrasing. These describe how the page is presented, not whether it is fair or accurate.
Available · automated extraction, no judgmentPast, present or future framing
Whether the headline and description structurally lean toward past, present/ongoing or future/anticipated framing.
Available · automated extraction, no judgmentDifferences between repeat observations
Where MAP has observed the same URL more than once, the record lists differences between observations, such as a changed headline or presentation pattern.
Available · only for URLs observed more than onceNarratives across outlets and over time
Identifying a story's primary frame (crisis, conflict, solution), clustering related stories, tracking repeated narrative elements and finding where outlets diverge all need comparison across many stories. MAP records are built from a single URL and do not do this.
