Tracks how often each country is mentioned in the output of major news outlets, so the counts can be compared against real-world event data.

Setup

cp .env.example .env
poetry install
poetry run python -c 'from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key as k; print(k())'
# paste into SECRET_KEY in .env, and pick a free PORT
make web

Then open http://localhost:$PORT/.

To get the data, and again later to update it:

make data

The GDELT days and the benchmarks live on the data branch, which holds only data and is checked out at var/data; the deploy fetches any day that's missing, refetches the benchmarks and pushes them there.
