Recently, the number of studies on sentiment analysis has increased. These studies have attempted to determine whether people's impressions of news articles tend to be positive or negative. However, these studies have focused on people's impressions of individual articles and have not taken into account the effects of the reading order of articles. In this study, we conducted questionnaire surveys and examined how people's impressions of an article change in accordance with their impressions of preceding articles. The results showed that in many cases, reading order had no effect on people's impressions of news articles. However, in several cases, people's impressions of an article were enhanced after reading the preceding article.
