To find and record the total number of tweets per couple, WrightHassall.co.uk trawled through multiple articles to collate a list of the top 20 most written about high profile divorces. They then created search queries designed to return tweets that were specifically referring to the couple’s divorce. To make sure their data would be as accurate as possible, Wright Hassall also took into consideration nicknames and abbreviations of the names i.e., “Kim K” “KimYe” …etc. To gain some insight into which member of the couple was being discussed more favourably, Wright Hassall conducted a sentiment analysis of the tweets for each set of divorce tweets. To try and isolate the language used to refer to each person they employed a method whereby words that appeared closer to a reference to a person’s name/nickname counted for more than words further away. All data was collated from March 22 to March 24 and is accurate as of then.

*All percentages were rounded up and rounded down to the nearest whole number.
