The chapters

This story continues an earlier wave: Oil prices decline as markets weigh supply signals, 2 to 3 Oct 2026, 8 outlets.

The figures

Coverage: 29 outlets in 23 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 29 outlets, 4 state-owned, 1 public-service, 24 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 5: Ghana, Morocco, Nigeria, Tanzania, Tunisia. Americas 3: Argentina, Mexico, United States. Asia-Pacific 5: India, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam. Europe 3: Greece, Russia, United Kingdom. Middle East 7: Iraq, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, 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, Greek, English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article The Express Tribune, 5 Oct 2026, 01:44 UTC. First seen 5 Oct 2026, 02:40 UTC. Last seen 6 Oct 2026, 17:30 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 International. Topic Energy. 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: 0.67, 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: Continues Oil prices decline as markets weigh supply signals. 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.
