The figures

Coverage: 46 outlets in 32 countries, across 5 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 46 outlets, 9 public-service, 37 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 3: Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa. Americas 13: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 2: Australia, Indonesia. Europe 13: Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom. 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: German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, Indonesian, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian.
Timeline: Earliest article The Independent, 6 Oct 2026, 05:53 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 06:10 UTC. Last seen 8 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 Middle East, Israel. 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: 7.87, 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: Merged into Israel marks three-year anniversary of October 7 Hamas attack. 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.
