How we analyse articles
Läbipaistvus reads Estonian political journalism at scale and turns it into an open ledger: who said what about whom, in which outlet, in what tone, backed by which exact quote. The one-sentence version: we do not score articles, we extract attributed statements — and every mark on every chart opens into the quotes behind it.
Collecting the articles
Our own crawler, three news houses, every language edition
We crawl Postimees, Delfi and ERR — including their Russian-language desks and ERR’s English service — and store every article found: title, full text, publication time, authors, section, language edition, and whether it sat behind a paywall. Scanning far more than we analyse is deliberate: it lets us say precisely what we chose not to analyse.
The pipeline, the prompts and the verification suite are versioned; when the methodology changes materially, this page changes with it.
