Topic share over time
Share of this source's tagged items per week, broken out by canonical
topic. Stacked to 100% so a slow news week reads the same as a busy
one — the chart shows what they're writing about, not
how much. Top 8 topics for the window; everything
else folds into the residual.
What this source covers more than peers
For each topic, this source's share of its own tagged items
(this source) versus the median share for other sources
of the same kind (peer median). Ratios above 1 mean the
topic gets disproportionately more attention here than peers.
“Unique” topics are ones where no peer of this kind
wrote about them in the window.
