We have a table that shows the number of news stories that include particular countries over a set period of time

there are three news channels that we have this data for and we would like to show/ plot on a map of the world so that it will easily show the concentration of the stories per country whereby the marker/ number etc for each country shows clearly the concentration of stories.

Such that a country with 100 stories per period is shown as a higher concentration than one with just 10 stories per period.

We have our own data as a spread sheet

Is this possible using QGIS?

well you need to have georef data, at least your spread cheet needs to have the country identification. you wil need to join this spreadsheet to a world country shape file by country id. you should eb able to do this in QGIS – A.R Feb 26 at 10:19
Many thanks for that - yes we do have the data set out as country specific so sounds like we can do what we want - thnaks again – John Heywood Feb 26 at 10:50
