I've always admired the Pew Research Center but never considered them a competitor but it looks like they're doing some serious Media Analysis these days, at least where the candidates are involved. What I particularly love is that they use latent analysis-- looking at the entire article for tonality -- which is how we at KDPaine & Partners do it, rather than analyzing content on a sentence by sentence or paragraph by paragraph basis the way some of our competitors do.


Nice piece. We use latent analysis to but I've never been able to find any research to back up that decision (just seemed to more naturally reflect how readers interpret a story). Do you know of any good background research on this topic?
