Methodology
A cross-section, not a ranking
The daily answers “what happened that day in eight cities”, not “what matters most”. That is why there are no scores and no order of importance — only time, city and the original.
What the cross-section contains
- Hour by hourBars show how many records were published in each hour (UTC).
- City by cityEight columns, the same rules for all; an empty column is information too.
- An original next to every headlineNo full-text copies and no invented quotes.
- No editorial rankingThe order is chronological; the reader decides what matters.
