The figures

Coverage: 92 outlets in 58 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 92 outlets, 9 state-owned, 8 public-service, 75 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 5: Egypt, Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda. Americas 4: Argentina, Brazil, Peru, United States. Asia-Pacific 17: Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Vietnam. Europe 22: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom. Middle East 9: Iran, Iraq, 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, 3 Oct 2026, 21:39 UTC. First seen 4 Oct 2026, 08:30 UTC. Last seen 5 Oct 2026, 20:44 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, Yemen. 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: 4.35, 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.
