Daily share of coverage about Tunisia from domestic outlets (%): 48 days, latest 19.15 on 2026-08-190.0012.525.0Jul 3Jul 11Jul 19Jul 27Aug 4Aug 12Aug 19

Share of articles about Tunisia 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.
