The figures

Coverage: 63 outlets in 43 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 63 outlets, 3 state-owned, 4 public-service, 56 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 2: Ghana, South Africa. Americas 10: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, United States, Uruguay. Asia-Pacific 12: Australia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. Europe 16: Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Middle East 3: Israel, Qatar, 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: German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Swedish, Thai, Chinese.
Timeline: Earliest article Onet, 27 Sept 2026, 13:26 UTC. First seen 27 Sept 2026, 13:40 UTC. Last seen 29 Sept 2026, 20:00 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 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: 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.
Chain: Continued by Governor Hochul calls for review of Cornell's rape allegation handling; Cornell University reopens investigation into gang rape allegations; Cornell University investigates alleged gang rape at fraternity; Cornell alleged gang rape prompts New York law review; Cornell police omitted rape claim from prosecutor statement; The federal law aimed at protecting college students from sexual abuse; Järkyttävä joukkoraiskausepäily amerikkalaisyliopistossa; Universidad de Cornell aceptó una investigación independiente sobre la presunta violación grupal cometida en 2024. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
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.
