Today's News on Wordle

So I have just discovered Wordle in JOUR1710 where they discussed how to use it as an investigative tool. It really does make it so much easier to find the important points within text.

This Wordle has been made using the information from the ABC news website. It is a much faster way of seeing the major news from today.

Some headlines from today include:

Molloy loses appeal over Cornes defamation

Man jailed for sharing ‘worst’ of child porn
UN to play no part in Nauru, Manus Island Centres

These headlines are among some of the major talking points on the ABC website which can be extrapolated from the picture.

A website as simple and straight forward as Wordle can serve as a useful tool for journalists as it would save a lot of time searching through documents. Of course, there are more technical and accurate means of text analysis however, Wordle is certainly a good place to start!
