What happened to what this account posted. We read its posts and counted how many independent newsrooms went on to carry the same story.
13% — 5 of the 39 posts we could compare were carried by two or more independent newsrooms.
Not gradeable yet. 39 posts measured; the first coin is awarded at 250, so 211 to go.
It measures how often the press followed, not how often the account was right.
Courts and crime is 33% of what this account posts, and 8% of those posts were carried by two or more independent newsrooms. A large share with a small pickup means the account posts a lot that nobody else picks up; a small share with a large pickup is a beat worth watching it for. Subjects are read from the words in the posts themselves, so read them as a sketch, not a filing system. Most of this account’s posts — 41% — matched no subject at all, which usually means short posts, replies or chat rather than reporting.
The post count is the point. A rate over a handful of posts is noise, so no coin is awarded until the account has been measured enough times that the figure cannot be luck. Thresholds rise as the record deepens.
