Coverage origin: local vs international

Over the last two weeks, 6% of the coverage about Belize came from outlets based in Belize — the rest was written from abroad (960 articles with a known outlet home country).

Daily share of coverage about Belize from domestic outlets (%): 89 days, latest 6.98 on 2026-10-030.0025.050.0Jul 6Jul 22Aug 6Aug 21Sep 5Sep 20Oct 3

Share of articles about Belize 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.
