The figures

Coverage: 49 outlets in 31 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 49 outlets, 3 state-owned, 6 public-service, 40 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 10: Algeria, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda. Americas 2: Argentina, United States. Asia-Pacific 4: Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan. Europe 8: Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Russia, Spain. Middle East 6: Iran, Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. International 1: the outlets that publish from no single country, counted as one. 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.
Languages: Arabic, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Persian, French, Hebrew, Italian, Latvian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article The Jerusalem Post, 1 Oct 2026, 15:30 UTC. First seen 1 Oct 2026, 15:30 UTC. Last seen 3 Oct 2026, 04:55 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 International. Topic Conflict & security. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. 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 now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. 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.
