First prime ministerial debate as Wordle clouds

16 April, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

The BBC has published the transcript of the first prime ministerial debates which were broadcast on ITV yesterday.

With a bit of hacking around the text I’ve put together a few Wordle clouds to visualise what the individual contributors said. Entirely unscientific and just for a bit of fun…

Alastair Stewart (ITV host)

Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrats)

Gordon Brown (Labour)

David Cameron (Conservatives)

Audience Members

All speakers overall

I wanted to test out Wordle, so put my PhD through it… the result is below.

My PhD is entitled News, Citizenship and the Internet: BBC News Online’s Reporting of the 2005 UK General Election. You can read the abstract and download a PDF version from the Bournemouth University Repository Online.
