- Coverage
- 60 outlets in 33 countries, across 5 regions. The article links are no longer held: they lasted a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 60 outlets, 2 state-owned, 8 public-service, 50 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Africa 2: Nigeria, South Africa. Americas 8: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, United States. Asia-Pacific 8: Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand. Europe 12: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 3: Israel, Qatar, United Arab Emirates. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.

- Timeline
- Earliest article Financial Times, 18 Sept 2026, 10:16 UTC. First seen 18 Sept 2026, 10:30 UTC. Last seen 19 Sept 2026, 12:46 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, United States. Topic Business & economy. Hard news Not judged. This story predates the hard-news rule (methodology 3.0). 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
- 20.43, at the end of the last day measured. 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.
- Day by day
Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
