Coverage origin: local vs international

Over the last two weeks, 39% of the coverage about Bangladesh came from outlets based in Bangladesh — the rest was written from abroad (9,729 articles with a known outlet home country).

Daily share of coverage about Bangladesh from domestic outlets (%): 90 days, latest 53.83 on 2026-10-280.0050.0100Jul 31Aug 15Aug 30Sep 14Sep 29Oct 14Oct 28

Share of articles about Bangladesh 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.
