Thanks to the @glowin_project, we analyze more than 730k online news media articles across all EU-27 states between 2019 and 2023 to study how salient the EU is, what issues it is associated with and how strongly domestic parties figure in EU media portrayals.

Today Google released Gemini with a 60-page report in which they repeatedly say the training data is key ("We find that data quality is critical to a highly-performing model"), while providing almost no information about how it was made, how it was filtered, or its contents.
