The figures

Coverage

Countries by region
Americas 2: Argentina, Peru. 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

Timeline
Earliest article Infobae, 6 Oct 2026, 20:24 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 21:00 UTC. Last seen 8 Oct 2026, 15:53 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, Peru. Topic Environment. 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.
On the map
Best rank 102, 6 Oct 2026, 21:20 UTC. Drawn from 6 Oct 2026, 21:20 UTC to 6 Oct 2026, 23:30 UTC. Peak score 2.66, 6 Oct 2026, 21:10 UTC. The map as it stood at each ten-minute run: the rank is the story’s place among the stories drawn, 1 the largest tile, and the span is from the first run that drew it to the last. Kept for every story that reached the map since 1 October 2026, before the story is deleted from the live table.
Chain
Continued by Forest fires in Peru kill six, affect five regions. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
