World State Media Text (English, FineWeb)

Dataset Description

manestay/world_state_media_en is the URL index manestay/world_state_media_urls_en with the FineWeb document text attached: the same 79,591,422 rows, in the same order, plus text, date and token_count copied from FineWeb v1.4.0. Each row is a FineWeb document whose URL host belongs to a state-run media outlet listed by State Media Monitor (via manestay/state_run_media).

  • Documents: 79,591,422
  • Tokens (FineWeb token_count): 52,142,323,929
  • Common Crawl dumps: 110 (CC-MAIN-2013-20 to CC-MAIN-2025-26), one config per dump plus default
  • Size: ~101 GB (126 Parquet files, zstd)

Schema

Column Type Description
url string Document URL (as in FineWeb)
id string FineWeb document id (<urn:uuid:...>)
dump string Common Crawl dump (FineWeb dump), e.g. CC-MAIN-2023-50
row_index int64 0-based row position within that dump's config in FineWeb v1.4.0
base_url string Matched outlet host
country string Country/territory of the outlet (State Media Monitor)
typology_2022 … typology_2025 string State Media Monitor typology for each year (raw values)
text string Document text from FineWeb
date string Crawl date from FineWeb
token_count int64 Token count from FineWeb

State Media Monitor Typology Codes

  • SC: State-Controlled Media
  • CaPu: Captured Public / State-Managed Media
  • CaPr: Captured Private Media
  • ISFM: Independent State-Funded & State-Managed Media
  • ISF: Independent State-Funded Media
  • ISM: Independent State-Managed Media
  • IP: Independent Public Media

Some outlets have other raw values (e.g. a note instead of a code) or no label for a given year; these are kept as published.

Source and Matching

  • Text source: HuggingFaceFW/fineweb, revision v1.4.0 (commit 9bb295ddab0e05d785b879661af7260fed5140fc). Every row was checked to have the same id and url as the FineWeb row at (dump, row_index).
  • Outlet list: State Media Monitor (640 media companies, 180 countries and territories).
  • Matching: exact equality between the document's host (lowercased, one leading www. removed) and the outlet hosts. Numbered variants such as www1. are listed as separate hosts where relevant; other subdomains are not matched.

Usage 

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("manestay/world_state_media_en", "CC-MAIN-2023-50", split="train")
print(ds[0]["base_url"], ds[0]["country"], ds[0]["typology_2025"])
print(ds[0]["text"][:300])

Notes

  • Exact-host matching misses outlet content on hosts that are not in the outlet list (e.g. unlisted subdomains), and includes everything published on a listed host.
  • Typology labels describe the outlet, not individual documents.
  • Covers only the 110 Common Crawl dumps in FineWeb v1.4.0, and only documents that passed FineWeb's filtering.
  • Duplicates across dumps. FineWeb deduplicates documents within each Common Crawl dump rather than across dumps (FineWeb blog post), while FineWeb-2 deduplicates across dumps within each language. The World State Media datasets inherit this, so the same article can appear more than once, mostly in the English data. Deduplicating at the corpus level would leave about 58M articles instead of 118M (English 79M → 21M, multilingual 39M → 37M). We keep every document because these datasets are meant as a lens into LLM training corpora, and 118M is what those corpora contain.
