The figures

Coverage: 32 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 32 outlets, 3 state-owned, 3 public-service, 26 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 1: Nigeria. Americas 3: Argentina, Brazil, Chile. Asia-Pacific 5: Afghanistan, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Vietnam. Europe 12: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine. Middle East 4: Iraq, Israel, Qatar, 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: Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Persian, French, Hebrew, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.
Timeline: Earliest article 964media, 5 Oct 2026, 18:14 UTC. First seen 5 Oct 2026, 18:20 UTC. Last seen 6 Oct 2026, 01:31 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 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: 15.62, 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 2 stories Turkey and Pakistan to deploy forces to Saudi Arabia amid Houthi attacks; Turkey and Pakistan station troops in Saudi Arabia. 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.
