How it is made

Every 15 minutes the news job reads the newest headlines from the GDELT Project, keeps each one's first city-level location, and counts, for every city of 150,000 people or more, the headlines placed within 60 km in the last 24 hours. The weight is stories plus half the extra outlet mentions, and a story whose place name does not mention the city counts 0.6; the score is that weight on a log scale against the day's loudest city. The arrow is the change since yesterday. 21,950 headlines placed across 1,942 cities today. The data file is public: outer-index.json. Quote it freely with a link.
