The figures

Coverage: 102 outlets in 56 countries, across 5 regions, 1 of them trade press. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 102 outlets, 6 state-owned, 9 public-service, 87 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 4: Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia. Americas 15: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 9: Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Taiwan. Europe 20: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 7: Israel, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, 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.
Languages: Arabic, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian, Malay, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Swedish, Turkish, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article El Sol de México, 3 Oct 2026, 09:59 UTC. First seen 3 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC. Last seen 5 Oct 2026, 08:54 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 Americas, United States. Topic Science & health. 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: 0.34, 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 Mother and son missing on medical flight to Boston. 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.
