Progress to Date (and Future Scheduling)

• Status Reports (Developer Task Assignments page)
• Next week (Project Development Calendar)
• Workshop meeting (Wednesday?)
• Discussion of other publications we will have begun to explore
• Discussion of scrubbing issues
• Discussion of our perception of the data gathered so far after some human reading
• Planning meeting with Scott Kleinman participating (Friday?) 
• Discussion of scrubbing and other preprocessing steps
• Discussion of topic modeling strategy
• Discussion of ideas for eventual public-facing interface

Planning for Collection From Other Publications

• What are our priorities? (Document Sources) (original WE1S spreadsheet of hand-picked articles on the humanities)
• Other U.S. cities (e.g., Washington Post)?
• Other nations: Canada, Australia New Zealand, India?
• Online media news/popular media
• Social media
• Middlebrow (e.g., USA Today) vs. highbrow (e.g., New Republic, LA Review of Books)?
• Economic press (e.g., Forbes, Business Insider, The Economist)?
• Higher-education press (e.g., Chronicle of Higher Education, Higher Ed)?
• Campus papers (e.g., Harvard Crimson, Yale Daily News, UCLA Bruin)?
• Commencement speeches.
• Articles on "sciences"?
• In future:
• Political, legislative, and policy publications (Austin Yack to work on this in fall for independent study class with Alan)
• Foundation studies and white papers (e.g., "The Heart of the Matter")
• Scholarly publications
• Researching availability and collection workflows for other publications:
• Sign up on Document Sources page to be "lead researcher" of a publication
• Check availability (years in full digital form without a paywall)
• Check method of systematic searching (library database? API? Search interface for archives
• Develop a scraper

Planning for Processing of Scraped Results (& Eventual Topic Modeling)

• Human "reading" of NYT, WSJ, and Guardian results to date to get a sense of what we have
• Add to scrubbing list
• Get a general sense of the terrain
