Abstract
A method and system for determining the importance of news events based on news reports published by news sources on news home pages is provided. A news system identifies news home pages that contain references to news reports on detail pages. The news system calculates the importance of a news event based on the importance of news reports reporting that news event. The news system may determine the importance of a news report based on the assumption that the importance of a news report is based on the credibility of news home pages and the importance of similar news reports. The news system may recursively define the importance of a news report based on the credibility of news home pages and the similarity to other news pages and the importance of a news home page based on the importance of its news reports and similar news reports.
