How it was calculated
51 outlets and official sources of Nizhny Novgorod Region are under observation. Each day's publications are grouped into topics by the similarity of their headlines; a topic is considered significant if several outlets cover it or if it directly concerns the subject of an encyclopedia article — on average there are 244 such topics per week.
Coverage is the share of significant topics that an outlet covered with at least one publication. Published first is the share of its topics on which the outlet published ahead of all the others, to within a day. Both indicators are averaged over the month's daily measurements; in September 2026 there were 30 of them.
The ranking compares editorial offices, so it does not include aggregators, official websites of government agencies, or outlets that have been designated undesirable organizations in Russia, blocked, or had their media license revoked. The ranking measures participation in the general news agenda, not the quality of journalism: a narrowly specialized outlet may be indispensable even with low coverage.
