The figures

Coverage: 59 outlets in 33 countries, across 5 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 59 outlets, 2 state-owned, 6 public-service, 51 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 1: South Africa. Americas 5: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, United States. Asia-Pacific 4: Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Nepal. Europe 19: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 3: Oman, Saudi Arabia, Turkey. 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: Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, French, Lithuanian, Nepali, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Swedish.
Timeline: Earliest article Der Standard, 6 Oct 2026, 13:00 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 13:10 UTC. Last seen 8 Oct 2026, 20:46 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 Europe, Italy. 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: 3.94, 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: Continued by Melonis Spiel mit dem Feuer: Krimi um das neue Wahlrecht in Italien. Merged from 2 stories Italian Parliament votes on Meloni electoral reform; Italy's Parliament approves Meloni's controversial electoral reform. 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.
