Coverage origin: local vs international

Over the last two weeks, 48% of the coverage about Germany came from outlets based in Germany — the rest was written from abroad (158,582 articles with a known outlet home country).

Daily share of coverage about Germany from domestic outlets (%): 50 days, latest 32.90 on 2026-08-210.0050.0100Jul 3Jul 12Jul 21Jul 30Aug 8Aug 17Aug 21

Share of articles about Germany 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.
