In the json data sample the site shows, what does 'tone' field means?

  Tone is the author's wording of the article that conveys their feelings towards the subject. The lower the tone/sentiment score, the more negative the article. These scores are averaged for each spot on the map, showing the associated color.

    this is cool @prohobo! may I ask how you classify tone? I have a completely unrelated project (enterprise app with thousands of documents) on which I'd like to apply to. TIA.

      I can't say specifically which algorithms are run on it, but GDELT runs sentiment analysis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentiment_analysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentiment_analysis) on each article, and they have a new data set called GKG which is all about emotion mining.
