View source for PageOneX

PageOneX is an innovative approach to the analysis and visualization of front page newspaper coverage, that enables communities and advocacy groups to track certain news threads in a easy and visual way. The project makes possible the comparison between two important pieces of the mass media and the Social Media: newspaper front pages and Twitter. 

Examples of this tool in use could be seen in this [http://numeroteca.org/cat/frontpage-newspaper/ gallery], as well a [http://civic.mit.edu/blog/pablo/analyzing-newspapers-front-pages longer text] explaining the possibilities of the tool.
