Abstract
Methods and arrangements for measuring and utilizing media topic influence. A publically disseminated media transmission is received. Public influence of the media transmission is measured via: identifying one or more media sources used to disseminate the media transmission; and obtaining one or more predetermined influence values associated with the one or more media sources.
Claims20
A method for measuring and altering media topic influence, said method comprising:
- utilizing a processor to execute computer code configured to perform the steps of:
- receiving a publically disseminated media transmission;
- and
- measuring public influence of the media transmission via:
- identifying one or more media sources used to disseminate the media transmission;
- and
- obtaining one or more predetermined influence values associated with the one or more media sources.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith and executable by the at least one processor, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to receive a publically disseminated media transmission;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to measure public influence of the media transmission via:
- identifying one or more media sources used to disseminate the media transmission;
- and
- obtaining one or more predetermined influence values associated with the one or more media sources.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to receive a publically disseminated media transmission;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to measure public influence of the media transmission via:
- identifying one or more media sources used to disseminate the media transmission;
- and
- obtaining one or more predetermined influence values associated with the one or more media sources.
A method for measuring and altering media topic influence, said method comprising:
- utilizing a processor to execute computer code configured to perform the steps of:
- receiving a publically disseminated media transmission;
- identifying a topic in the media transmission;
- determining subtopics related to the topic;
- and
- measuring public influence of the topic and subtopics.
