Reading the data:
Coverage measures how widely a country appears across the analysed Global News Briefs after passing the editorial relevance threshold. Intensity measures that country's share of the total geographic relevance score. A country can therefore have broad coverage without dominating the overall geographic concentration.

How to read Trend Monitor:
Rising means a country or theme represents a larger share of editorial relevance in the last 7 days than across the 30 day reference window. Easing means its share is smaller. Stable indicates little change. Percentage point changes measure Open Chronicle editorial concentration only and do not represent geopolitical risk, event severity, probability or a forecast.
