Provisional: AP, Reuters and CBS News block direct site search, and the other 10 outlets’ site search only loads in a live browser, so all 13 were checked through Google News and Bing News instead. Those checks were complete for every outlet.

Method

Back-scored after publication: coverage window 2026-10-25 to 2026-11-03, built around the story’s publish date (2026-11-01), 7 days before to 21 days after (or to the check date)
google-news site: search with after:/before: dates (3 term variants)
bing-news site: search, results filtered to the window (3 term variants)
Google News wire search (terms + “Reuters” / “Associated Press”) to catch wire copies; only articles on each outlet’s own site count
editor read of every candidate headline; each counted match was opened, or the block recorded

A match counts only if the outlet’s own article is about this story, not a passing mention. “Not found” means not found by these methods; search engines index only part of each site. Scores are rechecked at 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days and 30 days.
