Coverage origin: local vs international

Over the last two weeks, 60% of the coverage about Serbia came from outlets based in Serbia — the rest was written from abroad (22,943 articles with a known outlet home country).

Daily share of coverage about Serbia from domestic outlets (%): 91 days, latest 42.25 on 2026-10-040.0050.0100Jul 6Jul 22Aug 7Aug 23Sep 8Sep 24Oct 4

Share of articles about Serbia 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.
