Networking the Networked Spies

This visualization uses the GDELT Global Knowledge Graph to visualize the network of all of the people who have appeared in global English-language news coverage of Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, Wikileaks, and the NSA over the period April to October 2013.

Names appearing together in an article are connected and only those names and connections appearing on at least five different days are displayed. Mouse over a name to see who is who - click on a name to display only the portion of the network connected to that name.

Visualized using Gephi, ForceAtlas 2, modularity finding, and the SigmaJS export plugin.

For more information on how this network was created, see the companion article in Foreign Policy.
