The election was held on 29 September 2013. The body elected was the National Parliament (Nationalrat). This document is divided into four parts. The first part contains a description of the AUTNES Media Side study and more specifically, its automatic content analysis part. The second part addresses the conditions of use of the AUTNES automatic content analysis data. The third part contains a description of the study design – the media sample, data cleaning strategies as well as how to find the full articles in our sample online, in AmCAT (amcat.nl) article sets.
