Table 1: The table showcases adjusted assortativity coefficients (Karimi and Oliveira, 2022) for key topics across France, Germany, Italy, and the UK. These coefficients measure the tendency of nodes to be connected to nodes with similar degrees within each country’s topic-based network. Notably, variations across countries highlight distinct patterns of intra-network connectivity for each topic.

Figure 2: Community detection analysis of news outlets’ similarity networks with all the edges. Clusters were found using the Louvain clustering algorithm and sorted based on the percentage of questionable news outlets. The percentage of questionable sources in each cluster is color coded.
