About
Tracing the digital footprint of Uruguay's most prominent news organisations, these records offer a vast archive of Spanish-language social media activity. The collection captures public discourse as presented by outlets such as El País, El Observador, and Brecha, providing a foundational resource for media analysis and linguistic studies within the South American context. By preserving these communications from the inception of each account through late 2021, the data serves as a historical record of national news delivery and public engagement.

These records are ideal for performing sentiment analysis on regional news coverage and public reactions.

Researchers can also use the engagement metrics to track the evolution of news consumption and the virality of different reporting styles over more than a decade.
Coverage
The geographic scope is focused on Uruguay, representing six major national media entities including La Diaria and El Observador. Temporally, the archive spans from the creation of the earliest accounts in April 2009 through to late 2021.
