I figured out some new tricks with the New York Times’ API while I was procrastinating. Basically, this lets me use the logical ‘and’ command to explore the tags that are assigned to articles. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier. The graph above shows all articles with Somalia as the location tag and “PIRACY AT SEA” as the description tag, divided by the total number of articles on Somalia. I looked at monthly data. April was the high point with 88% of all articles covering piracy.
