description We examine COVID-19 related topics discussed in the printed edition of the Wall Street Journal. Using text analytics and topic modeling algorithms, we discover 15 distinct topics and present differences in their sentiment (polarity) and hype (intensity of coverage) trends throughout 2020.

In particular, the hype scores for Debt market and Financial markets have the strongest positive relation to the stock market performance.
