Negative Word Clouds

I have been keeping a word count of the negative words used in newspapers throughout the last week. I have collected the negative words used from the main 3 stories every day from The Sun, Telegraph and The Guardian.

Here are some visual mockups of ways I am considering visualizing the data. The colours/fonts of the words represent the newspaper they were counted from and the size of the word represents how frequently they have been shown.

For these examples I have just copied the same word count over through 7 days and only used the words that had appeared 3 or more times in the articles.
