The chapters

This story continues an earlier wave: RBI likely to raise interest rates amid inflation concerns, 4 to 6 Oct 2026, 4 outlets.

The figures

Coverage: 6 outlets in 6 countries, across 3 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 6 outlets, 6 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Americas 1: United States. Asia-Pacific 4: India, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan. Middle East 1: 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, English.
Timeline: Earliest article Bloomberg, 7 Oct 2026, 02:34 UTC. First seen 7 Oct 2026, 02:40 UTC. Last seen 7 Oct 2026, 12:55 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 Asia-Pacific, India. 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: 0.21, 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 RBI likely to raise interest rates amid inflation concerns. Merged into India's central bank raises interest rates for first time in years. 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.
