- Coverage
- 32 outlets in 28 countries, across 5 regions. The article links are no longer held: they lasted a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 32 outlets, 1 state-owned, 1 public-service, 30 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Africa 4: Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Tunisia. Americas 2: Brazil, United States. Asia-Pacific 4: Australia, Indonesia, Nepal, Singapore. Europe 13: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, United Kingdom. Middle East 4: Iran, Oman, Qatar, 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.

- Timeline
- Earliest article Vanguard, 25 Sept 2026, 14:16 UTC. First seen 25 Sept 2026, 14:20 UTC. Last seen 27 Sept 2026, 08:30 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, United Kingdom. Topic Business & economy. 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
- 10.23, at the end of the last day measured. 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 Manchester City found guilty of financial rule breaches. 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.
