The code utilized for this research can be found in the 'src' folder in this repository. The (messy and ugly) code will perform the research for a given journalist twitter handle (without the @ symbol) as parameter and ignores limitation on status histories by misusing the pages ability provided by Twitter4J, which is a required dependency. You must insert your own Twitter 1.1 API keys to run the code. Please note the code is rate limited.
The subject set for this research can be found in the folder 'dataset'.
To find the outcomes, raw output, and analyzed output for this research, please refer to the 'results' folder.
