us-national
National press of the United States. 37 feeds, 30 owners, 485 stories in the week to 9 October 2026.
37 feeds from 30 owners (35 rss, 2 sitemap), measured as one market because synchrony only means something inside one7. It is one of the markets in the weekly report, where it is compared with the others.
The week
| Week | Articles | Stories | Sections | Owners carrying | In a story | Largest owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3–9 Oct | 11,365 | 485 | 1 | 29 | 34% | 22% |
“Sections” are clusters that are real but not events — the weather for forty cities, exchange rates, lottery draws — and they are counted apart from stories everywhere in this project36. “Largest owner” is the share of the market’s own week held by its biggest publisher, the baseline any single story is compared against.
Of the articles collected this week, 27% are not events at all — weather and listings, but also guides, shopping advice and columns. That reading comes from a small model trained for this project on labelled headlines, and it is reported rather than acted upon: the stories above are filtered by the narrower rule only36.
| Week | Articles | Stories |
|---|---|---|
| 08-22 – 08-28 | 12,399 | 505 |
| 08-29 – 09-04 | 12,439 | 495 |
| 09-05 – 09-11 | 11,507 | 396 |
| 09-12 – 09-18 | 11,152 | 452 |
| 09-19 – 09-25 | 10,925 | 413 |
| 09-26 – 10-02 | 11,079 | 447 |
| 10-03 – 10-09 | 11,365 | 485 |
Weeks in which the market was still being wired up show a dash rather than a number: a market brought up mid-week reports every day, just with a quarter of its feeds30.
Widest stories of the week
| Story | Owners | Articles | Largest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trump picks Katie Zacharia as next White House press secretary | 22/29 | 31 | 10% |
| Mamdani, NYC officials give update on ICE shooting | 20/29 | 72 | 14% |
| Nobel Peace Prize Goes to International Jurist Navi Pillay | 20/29 | 41 | 17% |
| Trump says ‘we protect our cities’ after saying Iran could ‘take out’ Los Angeles or San Diego | 19/29 | 81 | 19% |
| Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter will be livestreamed | 19/29 | 61 | 18% |
| In combative first Michigan Senate debate, Rogers and El-Sayed trade attacks | 18/29 | 58 | 14% |
| Supreme Court to Hear Major Environmental Lawsuit | 18/29 | 53 | 17% |
| Obama-era DOJ official to lead review of Cornell response to rape allegations | 18/29 | 41 | 17% |
Owners are counted after word-for-word copies are collapsed into one voice5; the last column is how much of the story one voice wrote31.
Standing sections
| Section | Owners | Articles | Template | Model |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Massachusetts Sports Betting — Best Sportsbooks and Apps | Outkick | 1 | 9 | 100% | 11% |
This table is the reason the rest of the page can be read: these clusters are larger than any news of the week and would otherwise stand at the top of every table on it. The last two columns are the two ways a section is recognised and either one is enough36: a run of headlines that are templates of one another, and a model reading the articles themselves — the second one catches the sections too short to form a run, such as one lottery draw a day.
Owners that appear together
| Pair | Score | Together | Expected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fox Corp + News Corp | 15.2 | 495 | 262 |
| Emerson Collective + Graham Holdings | 10.2 | 5 | 0 |
| News World Communications + WETA | 9.5 | 101 | 42 |
| News Corp + Newsweek Publishing | 9.4 | 348 | 218 |
| IAC + Nexstar | 9.1 | 131 | 60 |
| Clarity Media (Anschutz) + Warner Bros Discovery feed format, not behaviour | 8.9 | 69 | 24 |
Measured over the whole archive rather than the week: the score grows with the number of stories, so it is read inside a market and never between two of them1529.
Which of the two goes first
| Pair | Shape | Score | Stories | Median gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WETA + Center for Investigative Reporting | both ways | 4.3 | 45 | 152 min |
| Nexstar + Clarity Media (Anschutz) | both ways | 3.7 | 484 | 112 min |
| News Corp + Clarity Media (Anschutz) | both ways | 3.7 | 416 | 165 min |
| Breitbart News Network + Time USA (Benioff) | both ways | 3.6 | 86 | 3.6 h |
| Time USA (Benioff) + WETA | one way | 3.4 | 89 | 3.9 h |
| Warner Bros Discovery + Paramount Skydance | both ways | 3.2 | 454 | 138 min |
A pair is shown only if it holds in both halves of the archive35; the shape says whether one of the two is systematically first or the order is mutual16.
