The figures

Coverage: 24 outlets in 18 countries, across 5 regions, 4 of them trade press. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 24 outlets, 2 state-owned, 22 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 1: South Africa. Americas 9: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru. Asia-Pacific 3: Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea. Europe 3: Portugal, Slovakia, United Kingdom. Middle East 2: Qatar, United Arab Emirates. 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, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Slovak.
Timeline: Earliest article El Sol de México, 10 Oct 2026, 09:55 UTC. First seen 10 Oct 2026, 18:40 UTC. Last seen 12 Oct 2026, 02:58 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, Mexico. Topic Environment. 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: None of its own. It was merged into Hurricane Simon nears Mexico's Pacific coast; Sheinbaum urges residents to shelter, 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 Hurricane Simon nears Mexico's Pacific coast; Sheinbaum urges residents to shelter. 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.
