How it is counted: every report HEROIC BREAKING NEWS wrote that week is matched with the headlines from the outlets we follow that are about the same event (they share its names and its less common words), published within a day and a half of it. Aggregators that repeat other outlets’ headlines are not counted. Each outlet counts once per story; the first is the earliest such headline. Only outlets with feeds we read are counted, so this measures breadth of coverage, not every report there was.
