Abstract:
Big Data is "things that one can do at a large scale that cannot be done at a small one". Analyzing flows of
news events that happen worldwide falls in the scope of Big Data. Twitter has emerged as a valuable source
of information where users post their thoughts on news events at a huge scale. At the same time traditional
media channels also produce huge amount of data. This paper presents means to compare the propagation of
the same news topic through Twitter and news articles, both important yet varied sources. We present visual
means based on maps to make it possible to visualize the flow of information at different level of temporal
granularity. We also provide an example and how the flow can be interpreted.
