The figures

Coverage: 36 outlets in 26 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 36 outlets, 1 state-owned, 2 public-service, 33 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 2: Nigeria, Tunisia. Americas 2: Argentina, Uruguay. Asia-Pacific 4: India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand. Europe 12: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Serbia. Middle East 5: Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey. 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, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Persian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Malay, Dutch, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Thai, Turkish.
Timeline: Earliest article ERT, 6 Oct 2026, 07:16 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 07:40 UTC. Last seen 7 Oct 2026, 01:57 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 Europe, Turkey. Topic Conflict & security. 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: 3.68, 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: Merged from 3 stories Eight students wounded in Istanbul school knife attack; Knife attack at Istanbul school kills 1 student; 15-year-old stabs multiple students at Istanbul school. 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.
