Description
Summary:We built a multiplex media attention and disregard network (MADN) among 129 countries over 212 days.

Also, we found strong evidence that our news world is becoming a "global village." However, at the same time, unique attention blocks of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as well as Russia and its neighbors, still exist.
