- Coverage
- 39 outlets in 26 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 39 outlets, 5 state-owned, 2 public-service, 32 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Africa 1: Nigeria. Americas 4: Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, United States. Asia-Pacific 9: Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Nepal, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam. Europe 8: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Romania, Russia, United Kingdom. Middle East 4: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. 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.

- Timeline
- Earliest article Bloomberg, 21 Sept 2026, 10:56 UTC. First seen 21 Sept 2026, 11:10 UTC. Last seen 23 Sept 2026, 08:01 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, China. 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
- 9.93, 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.
