### Dataset Description

This media storms dataset contains metadata and full text descriptions of all news articles identified as media storms in our paper "When it Rains it Pours: Modeling Media Storms and the News Ecosystem". 

For only the news articles identified in media storms, use the smaller mediaStormArticles.tsv file. For all articles in NELA-GT-2020, NELA-GT-2021, and NELA-Local with story-cluster labels, use the larger storyClusterArticles.tsv.gz file. 

- **Curated by:** Ben Litterer, David Jurgens, Dallas Card. Original data curated by creators of NELA-GT-2020, NELA-GT-2021, and NELA-Local (associated papers linked below). 

## Uses

This data can be used to model media storms (large, ubiquitous, long lasting stories) between April 2020 - December 2021. 

## Dataset Structure

For dataset field descriptions, reference documentation for `NELA-GT-2020`, `NELA-GT-2021`, and `NELA-local`. Full text is contained in `content` and labels indicating which media storm 
an article took part in are indicated in `stormID`. 



### Source Data

The underlying data for this dataset are from `NELA-GT-2020`, `NELA-GT-2021`, and `NELA-local`. We have identified media storms in these data and added cluster labels indicating 
which articles took part in which media storms.
