JeRI’s Brain.
JeRI is a system that helps identify people or groups of people who are sources in news articles. To do this, JeRI uses a special trained Named Entity Recognition algorithm.
A person or group of people is considered a source in a news article if they are quoted, or if information in the article is attributed to the person.
JeRI counts how many times the source is mentioned — including when the source is quoted with pronouns. This technique is called 'coreference resolution'.

JeRI classifies a source as one of the following categories:
Sources are at the core of journalism.
Every story, every report, every piece of journalism begins with a source. Stories may have one, or they may have dozens. The sources might also be categorized – citizens, politicians, academic experts, business owners, for example – and in turn these categories can be counted for their frequency over time.
Important questions begin to cascade from this starting point.

Important questions begin to cascade from this starting point:
What kinds of sources are often first in a story?
What kinds of people do journalists quote most often?
What kinds of sources get the most weight in a story?
