Method / Indicator
Repeated words
How many different words appear more than once, leaving out names and structural words. Most of what it finds is a report naming its own subject.
0 says it once drives it home 100
What raises it
- The same words coming round again beyond a second use
What is never counted
- Names
- Structural words such as "the" and "said"
When it appears beside a story
Not listed under stories for now. What it mostly finds is a report naming its own subject (“domestic” and “violence” in a story about domestic violence), which says nothing about how the story was written. It is still measured and still part of the Niral Score.
