Just released this data viz to public beta. The goal is to make it easier to explore topics and perspectives that might not be covered in your language or location. More info on blog here: goo.gl/70V2rZ. We (@jigsawteam) would love any thoughts, feedback, or ideas.
I think an option to exclude sports would make sense. US basketball results are less reported in Germany, and German soccer results are less reported in the US. This isn't surprising or bad, it's how it's supposed to be.
Also, not sure about how accurate this is. E.g. for Norway, "Russia" is on top of the "less reported" list. This makes no sense, there is a fairly big story today about a Russian government official making controversial comments about the case where a Norwegian reporter was injured in an attack on journalists on the Chechnyan border last week.
Great point re filtering categories, that would be great. For the data example, it could be that that the entity "Russia" didn't make the top 100 entities mentioned by Norwegian publishers this day or that the news happened after todays date cut-off. Thanks for the feedback!
