Sources — by share of their own coverage

Source Posts Share of their coverage
1 The Atlantic 212 13.5%
2 Schwab Network volume 165 1.6%
3 Epic Fury: The US-Iran War Podcast their beat 133 75.1%
4 Bloomberg News Now volume 125 9.3%
5 No1's Daily Digest their beat 94 97.9%
6 GeopoliticsUnplugged Substack their beat 93 93%
7 Geddry their beat 88 45.1%
8 Bloomberg Daybreak: US Edition volume 84 4.8%
9 Bloomberg Daybreak: Europe Edition volume 82 6.9%
10 GeoPolitiQ their beat 80 54.4%

Share of coverage separates a beat from a mention: a show spending most of its output here (“their beat”) reads very differently from a big publisher where this is a sliver of a firehose (“volume”). Both are ranked by raw matching posts.
