Abstract
News on the same event can be quite diverse, depending on the position they were written from. Annexation or liberation? Terrorist or freedom fighter? Peace mission or aggressive war? The framing of news is a matter of position – political, ideological, cultural and geographical. Even in the presumably pluralistic Europe certain events are predominantly discussed under surprisingly uniform perspectives. News consumers become aware of this only, if they compare news written in regions with different geopolitical positions. But news publishers from the Arabian world, Latin America, Japan, India, countries of the former USSR, and from many other regions are hardly perceived by news readers in the global west.
Internet users can theoretically find the most diverse and relevant articles on any topic that is discussed worldwide, but practically this is hard to do, even for professional journalists. The Global News Diversifier (GND) wants to change this. It aims to generate a compilation of the most diverse news articles on any current topic.
