- Coverage
- 36 outlets in 23 countries, across 4 regions. The article links are kept for good for every story that reaches the map. Of the 36 outlets, 5 state-owned, 1 public-service, 30 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
- Countries by region
- Africa 1: Tunisia. Asia-Pacific 6: China, India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Vietnam. Europe 8: Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 7: Israel, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, 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.

- Timeline
- Earliest article Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, 7 Oct 2026, 21:51 UTC. First seen 8 Oct 2026, 00:30 UTC. Last seen 9 Oct 2026, 01:58 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, Iran. 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
- 1.80, 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.
- 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.
