The figures

Coverage: 8 outlets in 4 countries, across 2 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 8 outlets, 8 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Americas 3: Brazil, Ecuador, Uruguay. Europe 1: Portugal. 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: Spanish, Portuguese.
Timeline: Earliest article Estadão, 5 Oct 2026, 01:37 UTC. First seen 5 Oct 2026, 02:50 UTC. Last seen 7 Oct 2026, 01:39 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, Brazil. Topic Politics. 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 De olho nas eleições; Presidential candidates' campaign schedules for Wednesday; Datafolha releases first runoff presidential poll Thursday; Retomada da propaganda eleitoral terá Flávio Bolsonaro propondo 'mudanças' aos insatisfeitos e Lula defendendo programas sociais. Merged from 2 stories Brazil runoff election: candidates seek votes and turnout; Lula vê “teto” de Flávio com voto útil e mira Norte e Nordeste no 2º turno. 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.
