This project analyzes the circulation of the term “fake news” as a rhetorical device, used to make political assertions about the truth of various stories and sources.

For this project, we wrote Python scripts to manipulate data from the Spanish Artists Dictionary, a research resource created by the Frick Art Reference Library.

This presentation will outline the two parts of the project and explain how Python was applied to a cultural heritage dataset.
