The figures

Coverage: 66 outlets in 48 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 66 outlets, 5 state-owned, 4 public-service, 57 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 4: Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda. Americas 9: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 12: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam. Europe 16: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom. Middle East 6: Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Qatar, 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, Czech, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, Persian, French, Indonesian, Lithuanian, Malay, Nepali, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article The Jerusalem Post, 30 Sept 2026, 06:40 UTC. First seen 30 Sept 2026, 06:40 UTC. Last seen 2 Oct 2026, 04:17 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 Middle East, United Arab Emirates. 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.
Chain: Continued by Israel flight hijacking latest: UAE calls attack terrorism after Netanyahu says ‘whoever sent him will pay heavy price’; UAE coi vụ tấn công trên chuyến bay của hãng Flydubai là “khủng bố”. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
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.
