News Patterns discovers patterns and trends among overwhelming flows of news and social media. Presently, the US Politics radar is discovering patterns out of 120,000 monthly articles.
In a previous post, I anticipated that the topic of Arab Spring would be an uncontrolled disruptive storm that would approach the Obama topic in the US Politics News Radar. At the time, I made that intelligence estimate based on the near civil war in Egypt.
I was correct but for the wrong reason. Arab Spring (which includes Syria) is now approaching President Obama, not for uncontrolled events in Egypt, but for US controlled events surrounding Syria. The US decision to prepare for a military strike against Syria became the major news storm over the past week. The following August 30th US Politics News Radar shows the Arab Spring storm, powered by events around Syria, impinging on the Obama topic at the center of the radar.
Radar Notes: The most relevant topics win the center of our radar spaces, and are often the primary contestants in markets or politics. Positions and movements define what a collective news intelligence is telling us in real-time, often correlating closely to polling results. Topics that are near each other are highly connected or related to each other in the news. The strength of connections among news topics is more important than the simple counting of article instances.

In addition to the redirection of news attention to the connection between Arab Spring and Obama, one can see that the Security topic has also become more connected to the Obama topic. This move by Security is politically advantageous to the Obama Administration in that Security has now become less connected to the Spying (NSA) political debate. Other political news pattern advantages for the Obama Administration include a dissipation of these topics: IRS-Scandal, Jobs, Economy, Spending, and Healthcare implementation.

Thousands of news journalists, bloggers and social media contributors will continually observe and report on these storms as they develop. Our news patterning algorithms will capture the collective trends and display them as an early warning system.
