News Coverage by Country Screensaver
The News Coverage by Country screensaver ranks countries by their real relative share of global news coverage, from the GDELT Project. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the News Coverage by Country screensaver works
The saver reads a real per-country coverage-share breakdown from the GDELT Project's API.
Countries are ranked by their real relative share of that day's coverage, highest first.
The pipeline refreshes the board regularly as new coverage is indexed.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
A worked example
A country whose outlets published a real disproportionate share of coverage on a topic sits at the top of the board, exactly matching GDELT's own measurement.
