Herwig Bruneel Faculty of Engineering and Architecture Academic year 2017-2018 Preface Exactly one year ago, when deciding to go for a thesis around the reliability of online news, I knew for sure that I was heading towards an interesting year. The subject combined perfectly my two biggest passions, computer science engineering and news. However, I knew that creating a thesis needed a lot of work. One year of very intensive work later however, I can totally say it was worth it. I am proud of and satisfied with the end result that I can finally present. First, I would like to thank my promotor, prof. dr. ir. Antoon Bronselaer. He was very closely involved in the research process to obtain this final work and was always available to provide the necessary feedback. Without his help, it would have been impossible to formulate this thesis. I would also like to thank hir. Hannah Van den Bossche, who also helped me a lot. She even performed part of the manual error annotations in this thesis, to verify whether her results coincided with mine. Furthermore, I would also like to thank my mother and my boyfriend, who provided me with the optimal circumstances to write this thesis. Without their support, this thesis would not have been the same. Finally, a final word of thanks goes to my cat, who was present during the writing of almost any page that this work contains. Although she probably does not remember anything of what I explained to her in the previous months, she was always present to listen to my ideas.

Herwig Bruneel Faculty of Engineering and Architecture Ghent University Academic year 2017-2018 Summary This Master dissertation aims to perform an extensive study of the online news reliability in Flanders. More specifically, the two largest Flemish online newspapers are investigated. During the analysis, use is made of both manual and automated techniques. Next to a general overview of the reliability, attention is also given to the influence of breaking news events and their accompanying periods of stress on this reliability. We analyze three different aspects of the reliability of online news: accuracy, consistency and relevance. In a first part, the accuracy of Flemish online newspapers and the influence of breaking news events on this accuracy is investigated. This is approached by manually screening a data set of articles for errors. The results of these manual annotations are ana- lyzed and conclusions regarding the accuracy of online news in Flanders are drawn. In a second part, an algorithm is developed that searches data sets of articles about the same subject to find inconsistencies that exist between the articles. This algorithm processes structured graph representations of initially unstructured text articles. This tech- nique is then tested on data sets of articles written during specific periods of stress to be able to quantify the problem of consistency of articles during these periods of stress. Thirdly, a specific aspect of the relevance of articles during periods of stress, namely their freshness, is analyzed. An automatic analysis method based on similarity measures is presented that can be used to this end. By testing this method on two period of stress data sets, the problem of lack of freshness is investigated. Keywords online news reliability, graph databases, text processing, similarity measures Reliability of online news media during periods of stress Yoram Timmerman Supervisor(s): Antoon Bronselaer, Hannah Van den Bossche Abstract—Studies investigating the accuracy of printed news media are news in a couple of aspects. Most important to note here is that widespread. However, as far as we know, no studies exist that investigate online news media are part of the 24-hour news cycle (Bucy, the broad concept of reliability of online news media in Flanders and the influence of breaking news events on this.

  • Financing of the Terror Attacks in France Introduction
    Financing of the terror attacks in France Introduction France became a more targeted country for Islamic terror in the past 6 years. From a single individual terror attack to a major multi-targeted attacks. In four reports we made a comparative study on four major attacks which took place from 2012 to 2016 in Toulouse, Paris and Nice. The main target of this report is to unravel the financing scheme of these attacks. We divided the financing into two main aspects, financing the recruiting and radicalization of the terrorists, and funding the specific terror attacks. As far as we see there is luck of information, in the overt media regarding the financial activity, yet, the few info available show the following: Financing of the recruitment in mosques and imams is generated mostly out of the Muslim Brotherhood entities, as UOIF, Qatar (directly and through Qaradawi and his foundation) and the French government. The actual funding for the attacks was made mostly by local assistance and the attackers themselves, yet, we do not know mostly what the source of the finances was (the finances to the Bataclan attack was given probably by ISIS representative in Europe). The terror attacks The Toulouse Attack [1] [2] The Toulouse and Montauban shootings were a series of three guns attacks committed by Mohammed Merah from March 11 to 19, 2012, targeting first French Army soldiers, later children and a teacher from a Jewish school in the cities of Montauban and Toulouse in the Midi-Pyrenees region of France. In total, the shooter killed seven people and wounded five, four seriously.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter consists of background of the study, research question, objectives of the study, scope of the study, significance of the study, and previous studies related. The explanation of each part is presented below. 1.1. Background of the Study World Trade Centre tragedy on September 11, 2001 reminds the atrocities of terrorism, the two towers collapsed within two hours. There were four coordinated terrorist attacks occurred in New York City and Washington D.C. by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda. This event, which being framed as “War on Terror”, became the beginning for US government to change their way to combat terrorism (Powell, 2011, p. 90) and it led to the growing number of Islamophobia in Western countries. Islamophobia can be defined briefly as the fear or hatred of Islam nowadays become more complex. Islamophobia emerges from many bipolar extremes, from those who denounce all criticism of Muslims to those who openly hostile to Islam (Allen, 2011, p. 144). As the consequent of Islamophobia, particularly Muslims in the West often perceive discrimination, hate crime, or even physical violence. Islamophobia is not only forms of people’s action, but also occurs in the political sphere and news (Marranci, 2004, p. 105). 1 Various forms of Islamophobia are also found in European countries. Muslims often get extra tight examination on immigrations and they are often get complaints about parking during Friday prayers. In German, Muslims are regarded rejecting norms and values and wanting to stay apart from the majority population by their way of life, so that they were called as the “Other” (Congressional Research Service, 2011, p.

French President Francois Hollande also blamed the Islamist extremist group for the bloodshed and called the coordinated assault on Friday night at six different sites an “act of war”. Authorities identified the body of a French national known to the intelligence services near the Bataclan con- cert hall, where 82 people were killed by armed men who had shouted “Allahu akbar” (“God is greatest!”) before gunning down concert-goers. Police sources said he was probably one of those who stormed the building as around 1,500 people were watching a Californian rock band. The discovery of Syrian and Egyptian passports near the body of other of assailants appeared to justify fears over the threat posed to Europe by extremism in the Middle East. SEE PAGES 10, 11, 14, 20 & 40 The attacks, which saw the first-ever suicide bombings on French soil, were “prepared, organized and planned overseas, with help from inside (France) which the inves- tigation will establish,” Hollande said.
