First of all, we connect to media outlet's RSS Feeds by using RSS Feed Reader node.
Then we concatenate all the results in a single table and pass it to dashboard component.
Inside the dashboard component, we first show the results as a table with clickable hyperlink to each news detail. We also provide media outlet as a slicer for the user.
Second part of the dashboard component is for creating the word cloud that contains the most common words from the news. In this step, we first pre process the data and then create bag of words from the news. Then we calculate the term frequencies to show them in the word cloud visual.
Here is the end result look like :
With just one click, you can get the breaking news ready and read them from Knime Browser.
