The figures

Coverage: 63 outlets in 40 countries, across 5 regions, 1 of them trade press. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 63 outlets, 9 state-owned, 6 public-service, 48 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 2: Tunisia, Zambia. Americas 5: Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, United States. Asia-Pacific 10: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam. Europe 16: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 6: Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. International 1: the outlets that publish from no single country, counted as one. 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: Arabic, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Lithuanian, Malay, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Vietnamese.
Timeline: Earliest article Blick, 5 Oct 2026, 20:39 UTC. First seen 5 Oct 2026, 20:50 UTC. Last seen 7 Oct 2026, 19:58 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 Conflict & security. 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: 0.96, 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: Continues Houthis claim missile and drone attacks on Saudi Aramco oil facilities. Continued by 也门冲突持续升级沙特数十人死伤胡塞导弹设施被毁; フーシ派がサウジアラビアの2つの空港攻撃 3人死亡30人以上負傷イエメンで海峡掌握めぐり暫定政権軍と戦闘激化. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
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.
