This repository contains the website for the JEDS Filter Bubble project.
Online and mobile news consumption leaves digital traces that are used to personalize news supply, possibly creating filter bubbles where people are exposed to a low diversity of issues and perspectives that match their preferences. The JEDS Filter Bubble project aims to understand the filter bubble effect by performing deep semantic analyses on mobile news consumption traces. This project is a collaboration between the VU, the UvA and NLeSC, lead by Wouter van Atteveldt.
