All protest and conflict events are grouped together by city/location. In a single map you are seeing an overview of major global activity each day, as captured by the world's news media and monitored by the GDELT Project. Here, protests refer to any gathering identified by the news media as a "protest" or "demonstration", while conflict events include military mobilizations, halting/reduction of aid or diplomatic relations, embargoes, boycotts and sanctions, coercion such as curfews, mass detaining and other forms of involuntary restrictions, and physical attacks. Provided through the support of the United States Institute of Peace, this highly experimental prototype dashboard offers an overview of global protests (pink) and conflict (red) across the entire world, as monitored by the GDELT Project from the world’s news media, combining a rolling animated map of the past 180 days (visualizing macro-level spatial patterns) with a clickable map of major events monitored over the past 24 hours, updated each morning by 6AM EST (over the coming weeks it will begin to update every 15 minutes). It is therefore with enormous excitement that we announce the debut of an incredible new addition to the GDELT family, a prototype live global dashboard that offers an at-a-glance interactive map of global protests and conflict, drawn from GDELT’s quarter-billion-record archive of global human society and updated each morning, visualizing our collective world as captured through the eyes of the world’s news media monitored by GDELT.
Since GDELT first debuted just over one year ago, the single most-requested capability has been the creation of precisely such a map – a global dashboard summarizing everything happening around the world each day in a single visualization. Add on top of that an animation of global events over the past six months, placing current events into context and illuminating macro-level global trends. (CLICK TO OPEN MAP)Imagine a map that uses computers to “read” news reports from across the entire world each day, identifying the events described within and their locations, and placing all of that into a single interactive map, zoomable and clickable down to the level of a city or hilltop across the globe, summarizing in at glance our world in motion.
