News articles were harvested via the NewsWhip Analytics service. NewsWhip Analytics facilitates keyword searches of its continuously-updated database of news media articles, comprising online content from national (e.g. Irish Times, BBC NI) and local (e.g. Donegal Daily, Derry Journal) news sources, as well as fully digital news platforms (e.g. www.thejournal.ie, www.belfastlive.co.uk). Coverage extends to over 600 sources published on the island of Ireland. Boolean searches identified articles containing the keywords “COVID*“/“corona”/“coronavirus”/“SARS-Cov-2″, which also contained the word “border”. The search was restricted to articles published between 31/12/2019-31/08/2020. The search identified 844 articles from ROI and 123 from NI. The full text of all articles was copied into a spreadsheet for analysis.
