This dataset and notebook correspond to the chapter "COVID-19 and Changing Values" in the book "Values for a Post-Pandemic Future" (Springer). In the article, we study value change due to the corona pandemic. With the help of topic modelling, we analysed COVID-related news articles for changes in the frequency of how often these news articles address eleven different values. We have collected the data from a number of newspaper datasets (incl. Reuters). The dataset and notebook uploaded here can be used to re-do the analysis.
