Timeline: Earliest article Emisoras Unidas, 8 Oct 2026, 01:01 UTC. First seen 8 Oct 2026, 11:10 UTC. Last seen 9 Oct 2026, 02:17 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 Americas, Canada. Topic Culture. 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: 12.43, 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: Merged from 4 stories Canadian poet Anne Carson wins Nobel Prize in Literature; Anne Carson wins 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature; Anne Carson wins Nobel Prize in Literature; 【速報】ノーベル文学賞にカナダの詩人・アン・カーソンさん「赤の自伝」「かみあわないノーマ」など日本からの受賞なし. 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.
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.
