The figures

Coverage: 33 outlets in 19 countries, across 5 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 33 outlets, 3 state-owned, 1 public-service, 29 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 3: Benin, Somalia, South Africa. Americas 2: Argentina, United States. Asia-Pacific 8: Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore. Europe 2: Romania, United Kingdom. Middle East 4: Iran, Qatar, Turkey, 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: English, Spanish, Persian, French, Hindi, Mongolian, Nepali, Romanian, Somali.
Timeline: Earliest article Hindustan Times, 7 Oct 2026, 17:16 UTC. First seen 7 Oct 2026, 17:50 UTC. Last seen 10 Oct 2026, 11:34 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 Asia-Pacific, India. Topic Technology. 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: 0.01, 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.
On the map: Best rank 15, 8 Oct 2026, 09:00 UTC. Drawn from 7 Oct 2026, 19:00 UTC to 10 Oct 2026, 21:10 UTC. Peak score 11.81, 8 Oct 2026, 09:40 UTC. The map as it stood at each ten-minute run: the rank is the story’s place among the stories drawn, 1 the largest tile, and the span is from the first run that drew it to the last. Kept for every story that reached the map since 1 October 2026, before the story is deleted from the live table.
Chain: Continued by Indian MP Nishikant Dubey and Elon Musk clash over Starlink security risks. Merged from 2 stories Musk attacks Ambani over delayed Starlink launch in India; Elon Musk accuses Ambani of blocking Starlink launch in India. 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.
