Coverage origin: local vs international
Over the last two weeks, 28% of the coverage about Ukraine came from outlets based in Ukraine — the rest was written from abroad (118,427 articles with a known outlet home country).
Share of articles about Ukraine 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.
