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.
