+Inspiration
+
+I look at this news dataset as a summarised historical record of noteworthy events in the globe from early-2003 to end-2021 with a more granular focus on Australia.
+
+This includes the entire corpus of articles published by the abcnews website in the given date range.
+With a volume of two hundred articles per day and a good focus on international news, we can be fairly certain that every event of significance has been captured here.
+
+Digging into the keywords, one can see all the important episodes shaping the last decade and how they evolved over time.
+Ex: afghanistan war, financial crisis, multiple elections, ecological disasters, terrorism, famous people, criminal activity et cetera.
+Similar Work
+
+Similar news datasets exploring other attributes, countries and topics can be seen on my profile.
+
+Most kernals can be reused with minimal changes across these news datasets.
