Popis: Modern election news reporting tends to focus on who is winning and on campaign strategies - what is often called "Horse Race" coverage. With the ultimate goals of better understanding the mix of election story types presented by different venues, helping people to understand their own news consumption, and recommending stories with more useful content, we explore methods for automatic classification of election news stories. We also describe a plugin that recognizes "Horse Race" articles, and recommends a similar article without the frame.
