- Coverage
- 24 outlets in 16 countries, across 3 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 24 outlets, 4 state-owned, 1 public-service, 19 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Asia-Pacific 3: China, Kazakhstan, Vietnam. Europe 10: Czechia, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Sweden, Ukraine. Middle East 2: Turkey, United Arab Emirates. 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.

- Timeline
- Earliest article 15min, 6 Oct 2026, 03:21 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 03:30 UTC. Last seen 6 Oct 2026, 23:12 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, Lithuania. 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
- 1.32, 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 from 2 stories Lithuania votes to lift constitutional ban on nuclear weapons; Lithuania's parliament votes on nuclear weapons deployment ban. 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.
