Abstract

Little is known about the behavior of real estate investors in the property market. Real estate investors tend to be generalized on a regular basis, also by planners. The media is known for its frequent generalizations and indiscriminate opinion. This research explores if online news media shape public opinion on real estate investors and if relationships between public planners and real estate investors in Amsterdam are affected by the media. This research was built up of a sentiment analysis on 8110 articles with a natural language processing algorithm, in depth analysis of news articles and expert interviews with planners. The sentiment analysis revealed limitations, but opportunities for future research. In depth analysis of articles indicate a negative sentiment by news media on real estate investors. Although planners state to be aware of an influence by the media on their work, further research is needed to gain better understanding about investors and their relationship with planners.
