GDELT: event volume & average tone

The GDELT Project monitors global broadcast, print, and web news in real time, coding events (actors, actions, locations) and assigning a tone score from -10 (very negative) to +10 (very positive). This section will track daily event volume and average tone specific to Russia–Ukraine war coverage, pulled via the GDELT GKG (Global Knowledge Graph) API.
