How it’s counted

A story counts once three or more newsrooms have run it. Each newsroom is placed by its own earliest report, using its published time.
Typically behind is the median gap between a newsroom’s report and the first one, on the stories where it wasn’t first.
Only the 224 newsrooms and official sources we read are counted, and a newsroom needs five stories to be ranked. Publish times are the newsrooms’ own; some update them after the fact.
