Interestingly, the positivity of the article content and titles have little effect on the weekly hotel stock prices. Rather, it is the presence of any articles in a week that negatively affects hotel stock prices. Additionally, the number of articles in a week does not intensify the effect on stock prices. Articles from low-profile publications are a much stronger predictor of returns than high-profile publication articles, and newspaper articles are a stronger predictor than non-newspaper articles.en-USRequired Publisher Statement: Copyright held by the author.
