Introduction

Research:

My project pertains to the field of Digital Humanities and the aim is to analyse the role played by mass media during Covid-19 pandemic in two case-study countries: the United States and India.

The project entails a corpus-based comparative analysis and will specifically focus on sentiment analysis. 

Ultimately, the aim is to analyse variations in journalistic discourse and assess whether and to what extent different choices can cause a different impact on the perceptions and attitudes of the population in an unprecedented scenario like a pandemic.
