Show HN: Using Qwen to track under-covered news (pressaudit.org)

1 points by SLHamlet ↗ HN
I'm helping launch this non-profit site which uses Qwen 3-32b to process thousands of news articles and analyze them by region, public interest, partisan lean, etc. This "Underreported in the US" section features stories covered abroad but have thin or absent coverage in US outlets.

More on how we use LLMs below. Would love your feedback, good / bad / otherwise!

how are you defining under-covered? if it's relative to volume across outlets, stories syndicated from one wire service would look well covered when it's really one source repeated.

Good question. A story is considered Underreported in the US when it meets all of these criteria:

Category = politics, law & justice, society, climate & environment or health Public interest = News is mostly of public interest (Public interest > 0.5) Geographic relevance = US (directly affecting US institutions, policy, the economy, security, or population, or primarily driven by US actors)

The coverage has:

No more than 1 article from a US outlet No more than 3 articles from US outlets and wire services combined At least 2 different non-US regional outlets More than half of all articles are from non-US regional outlets
