The NOW Corpus (News on the Web)
is composed of 1.1 billion words of data from
2012-2019. (Spreadsheet
with information on all 2,998,288 texts; 122 MB).
In order to create the corpus, scripts ran every hour to get URLs for new magazine and newspaper articles from Google News,
for about 9,000-10,000 new texts each day. We then downloaded the texts, cleaned them up
with JusText
(to remove boilerplate material); tagged and lemmatized them; and then
integrated them into our existing relational database. |
