 Description

The dataset contains social media posts from X and traditional media articles from online news sources related to the Slovenian commemorations of the Day of Resistance. We used two types of data: For the social media analysis, we collected X posts covering the period from April 2023 to April 2024. This dataset was gathered by Sciences Po under the SoMe4Dem project. The collection focused on commemorative discussions in Slovenian, comprising 753 posts. The dataset includes the full text of tweets, quotes, and retweets, as well as metadata such as language, timestamps, and external links. The user ID and screen names were removed to anonymize the data. The X dataset was compiled based on the following query terms: "Dan upora proti okupatorju" and "Dan upora". These keywords were selected to capture discussions related to the Day of Resistance and its broader commemorative context in Slovenia. The collection included special-character normalization, ensuring the retrieval of all relevant posts. To analyze traditional media, we collected relevant news articles using Media Cloud (https://www.mediacloud.org/), an open-source platform developed by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, which compiles and organizes online news content to facilitate research on attention, representation, influence, and language in global media ecosystems. The Slovenian database was queried using the following 14 case-sensitive keywords: »dan upora«, »dnevu upora«, »dan OF«, »dneva OF«, »proti okupatorju«, »državna proslava«, »državne proslave«, »državni proslavi«, »dan spomina«, »dnevu spomina«, »osvobodilna fronta«, »osvobodilne fronte«, »protiimperialistična fronta« and »protiimperialistične fronte«. Additional news material was collected through links found in the X dataset and manually retrieved from three Slovenian weekly publications: Delo, Demokracija, and Mladina. We included all relevant news articles published on this topic for three consecutive years, from 2022 to 2024. After collecting traditional media news articles from Media Cloud and X links, 144 irrelevant or duplicated articles were identified, thus reducing the media part of our dataset from 308 to 164 articles.
