?:abstract
  • In 2020, a global pandemic hit the world in the form of COVID-19, better known as the coronavirus. In times like these following the latest news is very important to keep up with what’s happening in the world and how one’s own country reacts to the pandemic, which could impose severe restrictions on one’s personal everyday life. In recent years news consumption has increasingly shifted towards the internet and websites like Google News, where an algorithm determines which articles one sees. As many Europeans are multilingual and the coronavirus was dominating headlines all over the world, we want to determine if the usage of different search languages (the language of the query and language setting on Google News) yields a wider variety of content and opinions compared to the usage of just one single search language. In a data study of 11,264 headlines in German, English and Dutch, collected from eight predefined search terms during a period of about three weeks, we determined, that, while all three search languages mainly feature mainstream news outlets and, with a few exceptions, popular opinions on news topics, which were often similar between languages, one does get a wider variety of news stories when using multiple search languages, mostly topics that are relevant to specific regions like the lockdown measures introduced by the government in a certain country. This provides a user with more context on certain news topics, however the content is still largely determined by mainstream news outlets (large and popular regional and national newspapers and broadcasters).
