Daily share of coverage about Togo from domestic outlets (%): 46 days, latest 0.00 on 2026-08-190.000.501.0Jul 3Jul 12Jul 20Jul 28Aug 5Aug 13Aug 19

Share of articles about Togo 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.
