Original reporting at the HuffPost (2011-2016)

Study on the "originality rate" of the HuffPost and 15 of its international editions

As seen in the European Journalism Observatory (in French)

The bylines of more than 1.8 million articles (blogs were excluded) published by 16 of the HuffPost's 18 versions were scraped1.
Each byline was categorized thus:

  • HP_yes when the byline includes "HuffPost" or the name of an employee or freelancer, even if another media organization is mentioned.
  • HP_no when the byline attributes authorship exclusively to another media organization (press agency, website, newspaper, etc.).
  • HP_unknown when authorship cannot be established.

The table below gives the rates per edition.
Links are to Jupyter notebooks in French.
One can access the raw data by downloading this csv file: scraping-nettoye.csv (apart from the Spanish edition, whose data is included in this file: scraping-ES-2.csv).
