How it is made

Based on the front pages of 55 signal media in 10 regions; 50 were read with usable headlines (TVP World, NewsDay, NHK World and Bangkok Post had no headlines, Seneweb offered only classified ads). Cut-off: 2 November 2026, 07:50 UTC. A cross-regional topic = positions 1–5 on front pages in at least 2 regions; a state-run outlet counts only together with a non-state one; sport, culture, accidents and natural disasters are excluded; at most 5 topics, ranked by number of regions, then outlets. Main topics of a region = up to 3 topics involving an actor from the region among the first five headlines, ranked by number of outlets, headlines and position.
