The figures

Coverage: 4 outlets in 4 countries, across 2 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 4 outlets, 1 state-owned, 1 public-service, 2 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 3: Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda. Middle East 1: Turkey. 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: English.
Timeline: Earliest article KBC, 9 Oct 2026, 16:15 UTC. First seen 9 Oct 2026, 16:30 UTC. Last seen 10 Oct 2026, 02:15 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: None of its own. It was merged into US imposes sanctions on International Criminal Court, 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 US imposes sanctions on International Criminal Court. 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.
