The final ATNIX for 2014 arrives with a slight delay due to the summer holidays, but covers an unexpectedly dramatic few weeks in Australian public life, due especially to the deadly siege in the Lindt Café in Sydney’s Martin Place in mid-December. This major breaking news story and its tragic aftermath are clearly reflected in …

With the drama and excitements of the Melbourne Cup and G20 summit receding into memory, and the current trials and tribulations of the federal government taking centre-stage once again, it’s time to update our Australian Twitter News Index (ATNIX) for the month of November. Sadly, scheduled server maintenance has meant that we’ve missed out on …

In my previous post, I introduced the revamped and rebooted Australian Twitter News Index, which now covers both link sharing patterns on Twitter for Australian news and opinion sites and general online popularity trends for those sites. Having covered the long-term trends since 2012 in that post, it’s now time for the first monthly update …

It’s been a long time since I’ve published the Australian Twitter News Index (ATNIX) on a semi-regular basis – other commitments got the better of me for some time, I’m afraid. In addition, I’ve also needed to make a number of technical changes to make the index more manageable and sustainable, and I’ve outlined some …

During 2012 and 2013 I published a more-or-less-weekly overview of the news sharing patterns in the Australian Twittersphere, the Australian Twitter News Index (ATNIX), which I also crossposted to my column at The Conversation. Technical issues and the call of other commitments have forced me to put ATNIX on the backburner for some time, but …
Seeing as we’re mostly occupied with tracking the use of Twitter in the Australian federal election campaign, this is an ultra-brief update on our Australian Twitter News Index, but it’s one which deserves to be pushed out in between the election coverage in order to keep us up to date. For the sake of brevity, …

Once again, too much time has passed between ATNIX updates; I hope to return again soon at least to regular monthly posts, but for the moment, this will need to be another two-month update. Several circumstances have combined to cause delays this time around: for one, Twitter finally transitioned to a new version of its …

Oh dear – I’m afraid it’s been some time since I last updated our Australian Twitter News Index; I’ve been significantly delayed by a number of overseas research engagements. So, to catch up to somewhere approximating the present, here’s a condensed run through some of the major developments of the past couple of months, starting …

The latest fortnightly instalment of our Australian Twitter News Index arrives at the end of a tumultuous week in Australian politics, but of course whatever resonance the Labor leadership shenanigans have found on Twitter during the current week will only be revealed in the next ATNIX update. For now, we may – if anything – …

I’m still struggling to return our Australian Twitter News Index to a weekly schedule – so for now, I’m afraid it remains condemned to a fortnightly existence. Hopefully this will be able to change in coming weeks. This update, then, covers weeks 8 and 9 of 2013, which saw a range of significant events in …
