Coverage origin: local vs international

Over the last two weeks, 8% of the coverage about Tanzania came from outlets based in Tanzania — the rest was written from abroad (2,798 articles with a known outlet home country).

Daily share of coverage about Tanzania from domestic outlets (%): 90 days, latest 10.94 on 2026-10-030.0012.525.0Jul 6Jul 21Aug 5Aug 20Sep 4Sep 19Oct 3

Share of articles about Tanzania 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.
