Country risk, from the local press

What travelled

Each day we cluster the world’s press into topics and follow each topic from one day to the next. The stories below are the ones that crossed the most countries’ presses: where each was first seen in the feeds we read, how many presses carried it, in what order, and what they wrote. A measure of coverage, not of origin: “first seen in the Angolan press” is a fact about our reading, never a claim about where a story began.

Topics are clustered daily from article embeddings across the outlets we read and chained day over day when their centroids match (cosine ≥ 0.80); a story is attributed to the press of each outlet’s country. Where it was first seen is where it first appeared in our feeds. Coverage, not truth; order of appearance, not origin or intent. Method →
