Daily share of coverage about Lithuania from domestic outlets (%): 49 days, latest 30.00 on 2026-08-200.0050.0100Jul 3Jul 12Jul 21Jul 30Aug 8Aug 17Aug 20

Share of articles about Lithuania 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.
