One of the Google news headlines yesterday (16 July 2016 at 13:45 GMT+2) from the United Kingdom edition was “How a teenager’s killer was brought to justice after 34 years”. This headline’s source came from BBC News. The headline expresses mixed sentiments between negativity and positivity. The fact that someone was murdered will be flagged as a negative concept in sentiment analysis algorithms; however, the news headline mentions the fact that justice was brought. Depending on the perspective of which the headline is read, one can interpret it as a positive news headline.
I decided to run the headline through nine sentiment analysis technologies (on default settings) and these were the findings on the headline:
Analysis on news title “How a teenager’s killer was brought to justice after 34 years”.
