- Timeline
- Earliest article El Sol de México, 8 Oct 2026, 17:22 UTC. First seen 8 Oct 2026, 21:00 UTC. Last seen 9 Oct 2026, 04:18 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
- Classification
- Region Americas, Mexico. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
- Score
- None of its own. It was merged into US military to livestream execution of Fort Hood shooter, and the map counts it only inside that story. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
- Chain
- Continues Fort Hood shooter sentenced to execution by firing squad. Merged into US military to livestream execution of Fort Hood shooter. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box. A story merged from several was grouped from stories about the same event; each keeps its own headline and page, and the whole story counts every outlet and country once.
