I would like to know the best way to formulate a query to Bing news API. My query consists of two information needs.
- Entity name, so I would like to know any news articles about this entity, e.g. organization, person, etc.
- Set of locations, so I would like to know if there are any important events happening at these locations, and articles don't have to explicitly mention the entity name in the article's content.
So basically, I would like to know if there are any important news articles talking about the entity name and/or its set of locations.
So I tried 2 different ways for formulating the query, as follows.
- Appending a set of locations to the entity name as part of the query. It turns out the result list contains good candidates, but I think each article should contain both entity name and location. Is that a right observation?
- I tried to modify the X-Search-Location header to the (latitude, longitude, radius) of the location. However, I noticed that results are not covering these locations as expected. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, not sure though.
So I would like to ask if there are better ways to formulate my query so that the results are more relevant to my information needs.
Thanks in advance,
