- Coverage
- 43 outlets in 27 countries, across 6 regions, 5 of them trade press. The article links are no longer held: they lasted a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 43 outlets, 3 state-owned, 2 public-service, 36 private, 2 not in the current feed list. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.

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 Reuters, 13 Sept 2026, 22:23 UTC. First seen 14 Sept 2026, 17:10 UTC. Last seen 18 Sept 2026, 22:19 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 Middle East, Saudi Arabia. Topic Energy. Hard news Not judged. This story predates the hard-news rule (methodology 3.0). 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
- 34.87, 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.
- 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.
