Abstract

In many cases, news articles are shared in Online Social Network (OSN) sites by their members. Disparate kinds of information are often propagated from the news media to the online social networks. Little efforts were devoted to measure or estimate the social influences of news media on the online social networks when compared to the identifications of their connectivity. In this paper, we took references on measurements of social influences among individuals in online social network and derived absolute, relative and combined measurements in order to deduce the social influences of single news article. Those measurements can be extended to a set of news articles and a social medium hence they can be used to evaluate and compare the social influences of the numerous news media. Experiments to compare the performances of the proposed measurements will also be demonstrated and discussed.
