A backbone for news analysis prototype.
This application scrapes the headlines in a specified 5 days period from https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/simp and outputs a wordcloud. The starting date of the time period can be specified. If starting date time period is specified, the application scrapes the headlines from the past 5 days.
Note: The period must be after 2015 as the website did not exist before then.
