The figures

Coverage: 56 outlets in 39 countries, across 5 regions, 5 of them trade press. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 56 outlets, 4 state-owned, 5 public-service, 47 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 1: South Africa. Americas 17: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Suriname, United States, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 6: China, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan. Europe 11: Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, United Kingdom. Middle East 4: Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates. 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, Bosnian, Greek, English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Serbian, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article El Financiero, 9 Oct 2026, 19:15 UTC. First seen 9 Oct 2026, 20:10 UTC. Last seen 12 Oct 2026, 01:35 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 Americas, Mexico. Topic Environment. 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: 4.38, 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 Hurricane Simon strengthens off Mexico's Pacific coast. Continued by Hurricane Simon approaches Mexico: landfall time and affected states. Merged from 2 stories Hurricane Simon nears Mexico's Pacific coast; Sheinbaum urges residents to shelter; Mexico urges coastal residents to shelter as Hurricane Simon approaches. 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.
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.
