Sounds good. Will email you after my vacation.

That would be a big improvement...

Cornelius Puschmann @cbpuschmann.bsky.social · Jul 23

Yes, that was also my understanding. For the life of me I don't understand why this kind of content (public posts) has to be this enclaved.

This is still very early stage, in addition to mostly being a wrapper around the excellent tidyllm package (github.com/edubruell/ti...) but do let me know if you have feedback.

Are you doing standardized content analysis with LLMs, but wrestling with parsing JSON and getting consistent responses? We've written a light-weight R package to simplify the process of using both commercial proprietary APIs and open-source alternatives: github.com/cbpuschmann/...

Thanks for the shout, Ross. We found that looking at the relationship of news values and (perceived) misinformation is (in our view) really interesting and that computational methods can play a vital part in measuring the expression of news values. And non-WEIRD media envs should be studied more.
