The figures

Coverage: 5 outlets in 4 countries, across 2 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 5 outlets, 5 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Americas 1: United States. Europe 3: Cyprus, Romania, United Kingdom. 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: Greek, English, Romanian.
Timeline: Earliest article The Economist, 30 Sept 2026, 15:15 UTC. First seen 30 Sept 2026, 16:20 UTC. Last seen 2 Oct 2026, 10:51 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 Europe, France. 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 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 Euro weakens amid France's economic troubles and bond selloff; France’s Bond Crisis Deepens; Comment la France pourrait tomber dans l’engrenage d’une crise financière; French Bond Risk Hits Euro-Crisis Levels; Hedge Funds Exiting Crowded Trades Fueled Rout in French Bonds; French bond yields surge, ECB faces policy dilemma. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
