Discourse monitor
How the monitored publications were assessed
Discourse valence across every scored item: what the sampled sources published and how independent models read it. It is not a measure of public opinion, not a measure of the state of the world, and article volume is not agreement.
Mean discourse valence per day · existential-risk · last 365 days
This line is the mean of every item scored on each day. It deliberately ignores the reading filter, because a daily mean of only the mixed or uncertain items would move with how many were filtered out rather than with the discourse.

Across the whole window
The two tables below describe every item in the last 365 days under existential-risk. They are deliberately not narrowed by the reading filter (currently mixed or uncertain), because a mean taken only over items already selected for their score would just restate the filter.
