Cheer up: New York City high school isn't so sad after all

Oct. 15, 2013
Twitter research that named Hunter College High School as the saddest spot in Manhattan was mistaken.

A research group that named New York City's Hunter College High School the saddest tweeting spot in Manhattan now says it was mistaken in its finding. The New York Times reports that researchers analyzed their data more closely and determined that the negative Twitter posts actually had come from a single Twitter account from a region just south of the school. Researchers originally said the high school had the highest percentage of “negative sentiment” posts of any place in Manhattan.
