Abstract

Topics of disadvantage are often discussed in the media. The discourse
of disadvantage is multidimensional and has many intersecting
elements, with some issues more common than others (e.g. violence,
addiction), and some tending to co-occur, like human rights,
criminal justice, and health to name just a few common themes.
Here, we introduce and describe “Discourse Lines”, an online interactive
visualisation to discover which co-occurring disadvantage
issues are being discussed in the media, and which ones are left out and obscured. The visualisation presents an AI-assisted analysis of
news articles on topics of discourse. Our multi-scale architecture
metro map visualisation invites users to drill down from a topics
overview landing map to topic-specific metro maps until individual
news articles. This dynamic platform allows users to see how discourse
on topics of disadvantage unfolds and how news conflates or
separates various issues over time.
