The figures

Coverage
54 outlets in 38 countries, across 5 regions. The article links are no longer held: they lasted a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 54 outlets, 5 state-owned, 8 public-service, 41 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region
Africa 2: Nigeria, South Africa. Americas 5: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Jamaica, United States. Asia-Pacific 9: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam. Europe 15: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 6: Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. 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, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Persian, French, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese, Turkish, Vietnamese.
Timeline
Earliest article Bloomberg, 25 Sept 2026, 22:47 UTC. First seen 25 Sept 2026, 23:00 UTC. Last seen 27 Sept 2026, 13:17 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 Americas, United States. 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
22.48, 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.
