Topics and their Salience in the 2015 Parliamentary Election in Croatia: A Topic Model based Analysis of the Media Agenda

There is a growing interest in automated content analysis for agenda-setting stud- ies. While topic models have shown to be useful for this purpose, they are generally troubled with low topic quality and cover- age. To alleviate this, Korenčić et al. (2015) proposed a semi- supervised topic modeling methodology. The aim of this work is to gain a better understanding of their method- ology, by conducting a preliminary study of the media agenda during the 2015 parlia- mentary election in Croatia. Our goal is to analyze the topics and their salience during the official election campaign and the lively post-election negotiation period. We report on the methodological insights gained from this study and a preliminary analysis of the media agenda during the election period.
