The figures

Coverage: 38 outlets in 29 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 38 outlets, 3 state-owned, 6 public-service, 29 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 3: Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia. Americas 5: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, United States, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 7: Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Taiwan, Vietnam. Europe 8: France, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland. Middle East 6: Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, 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, German, English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian, Nepali, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Swedish, Vietnamese, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article Anadolu Agency, 28 Sept 2026, 23:04 UTC. First seen 28 Sept 2026, 23:10 UTC. Last seen 30 Sept 2026, 18:51 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 Middle East, Iran. Topic Shipping & trade. 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 now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. 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: Continued by Iran says reopening Strait of Hormuz hinges on US guarantees to end war. 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.
