For the past few years I have published regular monthly updates of the Australian Twitter News Index (ATNIX) [6] at The Conversation [7] and at Mapping Online Publics [8]. As that partnership has now come to an end and the writing of regular updates had become somewhat onerous, we’ve developed a new approach to sharing the trends in how content from Australian news sites is being shared on Twitter.
From now on, ATNIX is published through a live, interactive dashboard which shows day-to-day trends and lists the most shared URLs for any given timeframe (click ‘full screen’ to enlarge):
I’ll continue to publish ATNIX updates on major trends and developments from time to time, but this dashboard provides a much faster way to make these live trends available. (As a next step in the process, I also hope to automate the @_ATNIX_ [9] Twitter account so that it highlights major news articles as they are trending.)
ATNIX is now supported by the QUT Digital Observatory [10] – a collaboration between the QUT Institute for Future Environments [11] and the QUT Digital Media Research Centre [12]. If you’re interested in further research that builds on this dataset, please get in touch!
