The figures

Coverage: 57 outlets in 37 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 57 outlets, 8 state-owned, 5 public-service, 44 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 2: South Africa, Tunisia. Americas 6: Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 10: China, Indonesia, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam. Europe 16: Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden. Middle East 3: Saudi Arabia, 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: Arabic, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian, Malay, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article Malay Mail, 28 Sept 2026, 05:29 UTC. First seen 28 Sept 2026, 05:30 UTC. Last seen 30 Sept 2026, 05:15 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, Thailand. 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 now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. 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.
