- Coverage
- 34 outlets in 24 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 34 outlets, 1 state-owned, 4 public-service, 29 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Africa 2: Ghana, South Africa. Americas 4: Argentina, Canada, Mexico, United States. Asia-Pacific 4: Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand. Europe 12: Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Sweden, United Kingdom. Middle East 2: Saudi Arabia, Syria. 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, French, Latvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Swedish, Thai.
- Timeline
- Earliest article The Sydney Morning Herald, 18 Sept 2026, 04:14 UTC. First seen 18 Sept 2026, 04:20 UTC. Last seen 20 Sept 2026, 04:06 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 Asia-Pacific, Australia. Topic Sport. 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
- 6.41, 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.
