Coverage origin: local vs international

Over the last two weeks, 37% of the coverage about Azerbaijan came from outlets based in Azerbaijan — the rest was written from abroad (5,878 articles with a known outlet home country).

Daily share of coverage about Azerbaijan from domestic outlets (%): 48 days, latest 36.84 on 2026-08-190.0050.0100Jul 3Jul 11Jul 19Jul 27Aug 4Aug 12Aug 19

Share of articles about Azerbaijan produced by domestic outlets, computed daily across GDELT's English and translated streams. Outlet home countries are mapped per news domain (GDELT source-country data); articles from unmapped outlets are excluded from the denominator. A very low share during major events can mean the story is being told about a place rather than from it.
