Daily share of coverage about Kuwait from domestic outlets (%): 90 days, latest 0.00 on 2026-10-030.000.501.0Jul 6Jul 21Aug 5Aug 20Sep 4Sep 19Oct 3

Share of articles about Kuwait 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.
