News analysis: trump, iran, president, administration - UK Politics, Other

This Week in News

Trump dominated the week's 603 articles, appearing in 42 pieces — a volume that signals this was more than a passing news cycle. Iran and President were close behind, framing a week in which uk politics consumed the bulk of coverage. UK Politics accounted for 13% of all articles, led by Independent, BBC and Fox News. The standout piece was "Trump’s ‘free flow of energy’ vow fails to restart shipping in strait of Hormuz" from Guardian Business. Sentiment was broadly mixed — 15% of articles carried a negative tone against 31% positive. That ratio reflects the weight of the stories rather than editorial framing: when the dominant keywords are Trump and Iran, the numbers tend to follow.
