Detecting and understanding moral biases in news Usman Shahid author Barbara Di Eugenio author Andrew Rojecki author Elena Zheleva author 2020-jul text Proceedings of the First Joint Workshop on Narrative Understanding, Storylines, and Events Association for Computational Linguistics Online conference publication We describe work in progress on detecting and understanding the moral biases of news sources by combining framing theory with natural language processing. First we draw connections between issue-specific frames and moral frames that apply to all issues. Then we analyze the connection between moral frame presence and news source political leaning. We develop and test a simple classification model for detecting the presence of a moral frame, highlighting the need for more sophisticated models. We also discuss some of the annotation and frame detection challenges that can inform future research in this area. shahid-etal-2020-detecting https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.nuse-1.15 2020-jul 120 125
