«Wordnews» focuses on systematics for the interpretation and visual display of textual information. As a first example the current news headlines of several leading international news sources are being analysed and displayed. The output tries to visualise meaning according to calculations on the quantitative occurrence of words. Like a seismograph the application registers amplitudes and eruptions in current world-news headlines.
