How to read this page — and how the labels are worked out
Grouping. Outlets are grouped by where they are published and who funds them — not by
whether their reporting is accurate, and not by any ranking of quality. Every headline carries its
outlet, country and funding model so you can weigh it yourself. Nothing is filtered or editorialised:
feeds arrive in the order the publishers put them out. The three groupings mirror the alignments used
in the power-network map — the US-led West, the China–Russia axis, and the states that deliberately
hedge. Plenty of countries fit awkwardly; that is a real feature of the world, not a flaw in the grouping.
Pictures and logos are the publishers' own files, loaded from the publishers and credited to
them. Nothing on this page is illustrated with an image we made or altered.
Labels describe the shape of the coverage, computed from the feeds themselves:
BREAKING stamped within the last hour ·
DEVELOPING under four hours old and already in three or more newsrooms ·
ALL THREE PRESSES every camp is carrying it ·
TWO PRESSES two of three are ·
ONE PRESS ONLY just one camp is running it — often the most revealing case ·
WIDELY CARRIED five or more separate newsrooms.
None of these is a verdict on accuracy.
Funding labels are factual, not verdicts. state government-owned
or controlled · state-funded public money, editorially independent
by charter · public publicly funded broadcaster ·
private commercial. State ownership does not by itself make a report
false, and private ownership does not make one true — but knowing who pays is part of reading well.
