The Trending Articles widget reveals the articles and links that were shared the most.

The listed resources present the title, meta description, URL, share count, topics if any, and the main visual of the resource, if any.

The topics are listed as tags and are provided from our Natural Language Processing (NLP) content analysis of the article text and sometimes combined with the publisher's meta keywords.

As with other sections, specific stakeholders can be selected by clicking on them at the top of the section. Deselect stakeholder(s) by clicking on them a second time.
