The figures

Coverage: 2 outlets in 2 countries, across 2 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 2 outlets, 2 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Asia-Pacific 1: Malaysia. Europe 1: Czechia. 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: Czech, English.
Timeline: Earliest article Free Malaysia Today, 7 Oct 2026, 23:08 UTC. First seen 7 Oct 2026, 23:50 UTC. Last seen 8 Oct 2026, 07:25 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 Business & economy. 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 of its own. It was merged into EU debt could reach €1 trillion by 2027, auditors warn, and the map counts it only inside that story. 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 into EU debt could reach €1 trillion by 2027, auditors warn. 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.
