Collected articles: every report in this story's record, counted once, in the week (Monday to Sunday, UTC) it was published; a report published on a Sunday evening in US Eastern time counts in the next week. Copies of the same wire story count as separate articles. This shows how much we collected, not how important a development was or whether it was independently confirmed. It covers this record only, not all news coverage. Our collection begins in October 2021.

A rating describes the outlet, not a single report. How outlets are rated

The table, with every outlet behind each number

Outlets nobody has rated stay in their own group. Local TV newsrooms are counted as center by a published rule, whatever their own rating, and are shown apart from outlets rated center.
