Abstract
News agencies regularly use Twitter to publicize and increase readership of their articles. In this research, we use network analysis techniques to compare the diffusion process for articles published by different news agencies. We propose five different measures based on Twitter activity networks and use them to compare the propagation process. Using a dataset of tweets collected over a period of six months, we provide crucial insights into factors that influence the spread of news articles and provide a comprehensive account of news article propagation on Twitter.
