The figures

Coverage: 7 outlets in 6 countries, across 3 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 7 outlets, 1 state-owned, 6 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Asia-Pacific 1: India. Europe 4: Poland, Russia, Ukraine, United Kingdom. Middle East 1: Turkey. 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: English, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian.
Timeline: Earliest article Wirtualna Polska, 6 Oct 2026, 13:05 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 13:10 UTC. Last seen 8 Oct 2026, 09:32 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 International. Topic Science & health. Hard news Judged not hard news. Left off 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: 0.10, 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: Continued by Draconids meteor shower peaks tonight. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
