This is still very early stage, in addition to mostly being a wrapper around the excellent tidyllm package (github.com/edubruell/ti...) but do let me know if you have feedback.

Thanks for the shout, Ross. We found that looking at the relationship of news values and (perceived) misinformation is (in our view) really interesting and that computational methods can play a vital part in measuring the expression of news values. And non-WEIRD media envs should be studied more.

I had a submission on how news is accessed rejected on the grounds that "this has already been studied a lot". π€ To be fair, it was just a lit review & not that exciting. But I think it's funny that people select something to review based on the title to then say the subject is not interesting. π³
