The figures

Coverage: 7 outlets in 5 countries, across 3 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 7 outlets, 1 public-service, 6 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Americas 3: Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador. Asia-Pacific 1: Malaysia. Europe 1: Greece. 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, Spanish.
Timeline: Earliest article Infobae, 7 Oct 2026, 16:45 UTC. First seen 7 Oct 2026, 16:50 UTC. Last seen 8 Oct 2026, 01:44 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 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: 3.15, 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: Merged into Grynspan leads UN secretary general race with increasing opposition. 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.
