Over the last two weeks, 15% of the coverage about Moldova came from outlets based in Moldova — the rest was written from abroad (6,633 articles with a known outlet home country).

Daily share of coverage about Moldova from domestic outlets (%): 48 days, latest 24.54 on 2026-08-190.0025.050.0Jul 3Jul 11Jul 19Jul 27Aug 4Aug 12Aug 19

Share of articles about Moldova 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.
