Summary

The Google BigQuery Visualization leverages the GDELT Project's Global Geographic Graph, a dataset covering more than 1.7 billion location mentions in worldwide English language news coverage since April 2017. The project integrates with Google BigQuery to enable users to map this huge dataset, creating interactive maps that display locations mentioned in news coverage during specific time periods or contexts, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. By using a SQL query from BigQuery, users can connect their data to the CARTO platform and easily visualize, perform spatial analyses, and build applications. The integration allows for seamless mapping of global news narratives, providing valuable insights into human society.
