About this map
Hottub News counted 103,385 reports from outlets in 158 countries for the week of 12–18 October 2026. The US, the UK and Germany published the most (11,766 reports), and the five busiest countries account for 32% of the total.
The most widely covered stories were: “Several dead or injured in major fire at Canada military base” (955 outlets, mostly the US and the UK); “Violent clashes, looting and buildings ablaze in France as more than 1,200 arrested after protests” (529 outlets, mostly the UK and the US); “Macron vows to hold those who sought to “bring down the Republic” accountable after riots” (485 outlets, mostly the UK and Greece).
Each report is placed in the country of the outlet that published it (from its feed, web domain or Wikidata), not where the events happened. Stories group reports of the same event across outlets and languages; for a week or month, a story's outlet count is its biggest day's. 21,962 more reports came from outlets whose country is unknown; they count toward stories but not the map. Paid placements are never included.
