Description
The dataset gives numbers for pipelines mentioned, actors quoted, pipeline assessments and frames used in media reporting about export pipelines in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
For Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, the database includes a large part of the most popular (print, TV, and Internet) and important media for the major political camps as well as national specialised business journals from 1998 to 2011, if these exist. For Turkmenistan, which has strong state control over all media, only the state TV channels have been included in the analysis.
The resulting text corpus comprises 3,618 media reports on export pipelines published between 1998 and 2011 by 38 different journalistic media outlets. The results of the numerical analysis are available with this dataset. The original media reports cannot be included in the dataset because of copyright restrictions.
