2022 is a busy year. The end of Q1 is coming closer and we still have the coronavirus pandemic, the Winter Olympic has just ended and Russia invaded Ukraine. We used the GDELT database to visualize which geolocations were mentioned in the global media during the first quarter of this year.
The raw data files published by the GDELT project contain lat-long data for every location extracted from the scraped sources. We extracted the coordinates and aggregated their mentions on a daily level. We normalized the number of mentions and excluded rarely mentioned (i.e. having less then the 0.5 percent of the total mentions) geolocations.
