How many stakeholders are mentioned per story?
We count the number of unique stakeholders (or interest groups) who were mentioned in each story. Stakeholders are different from viewpoints in that distinct groups might share an opinion on a subject, though they arrived from a different starting place. Teachers and students, for instance, might largely agree on a school controversy, though they are clearly different stakeholders with different interests. If the same interest group or stakeholder is mentioned several times in a story, we only count it once. If multiple members of the same group are mentioned, we count them as only one interest group.
