Abstract

In this paper company co-mentions network is formed as a graph in which vertexes represent the world’s largest companies mentioned in financial and economic news flow. If two companies were mentioned in the same news report then the edge between two nodes is included in the co-mentions graph. The edge weight between any two nodes is calculated as the amount of news items that mentioned both companies in a certain period of time. We examine the changes of the structural properties of the company co-mentions graph over time. We analyze the distribution of the degrees of the vertices in this graph, the edge density of this graph as well as its connectivity. Based on the analysis, we make some conclusions regarding the dynamics of the evolution of the news flow.
