- Coverage
- 6 outlets in 6 countries, across 3 regions, 2 of them trade press. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 6 outlets, 1 state-owned, 5 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Americas 1: United States. Europe 4: Greece, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland. Middle East 1: Turkey. 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
- German, English, Russian, Swedish.
- Timeline
- Earliest article Aftonbladet, 6 Oct 2026, 10:47 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 10:50 UTC. Last seen 6 Oct 2026, 21:00 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 Shipping & trade. 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
- 0.31, as of now. 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 Iran attacks tanker in Strait of Hormuz. Merged into Panama-flagged tanker attacked in Strait of Hormuz, 12 injured. 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.
How this was measured
