The figures

Coverage: 8 outlets in 4 countries. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 8 outlets, 1 public-service, 7 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Europe 4: Germany, Greece, Poland, United Kingdom. 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, Polish.
Timeline: Earliest article RMF24, 8 Oct 2026, 07:16 UTC. First seen 8 Oct 2026, 07:40 UTC. Last seen 8 Oct 2026, 14:33 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, Poland. Topic Conflict & security. Hard news Judged not hard news. Left off 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 15-year-old kills one in Poland's second school knife attack in two days, 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 15-year-old kills one in Poland's second school knife attack in two days. 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.
