Topic Trends allows you to look into the future by asking the question "What are the upcoming topics?" In the graphical presentation, different discs (bubbles) each represent a topic. Their size and color indicate how the topics are weighted during the period under review. The larger a bubble, the more stories there are for that topic. Different numbers of stories are displayed in different colors.
Only topics that begin today or in the future are included. Topics that began in the past are not included.
The menu bar is located on the left side of the screen.
You can expand or collapse the menu bar by clicking on the hamburger icon ☰.
