The taper toward older dates is a collection artefact, not a finding. Each RSS feed returns only its latest 15–200 items, so a day that had already passed when ingestion started — or before a given outlet was added to the config — was captured shallowly or not at all. A smaller count on an older day means the crawler saw less of that day. It does not mean less news happened, and the shape of this strip is not a trend in news volume. The bands above are order-of-magnitude only, and no day’s total should be read as a measurement of that day or compared against another’s.

The day’s agenda

No story drew coverage from two outlets on 04 August 2026.

Nothing is ranked, because there is nothing to rank. On days captured before ingestion started, that is usually a gap in the sample rather than a quiet news day.

Outlets active

4 outlets published items captured on 04 August 2026, 4 of them alternative. Listed alphabetically, not ranked: an item count is publishing volume, and on any day before ingestion started it is also capped by how far back that outlet’s feed reached.

Blind spots

Of the 0 stories with coverage from more than one outlet on 04 August 2026:

0 Covered only by mainstream

None.

0 Covered only by alternative

No story in this window was carried by alternative outlets alone.

Read this as a description of a 4-outlet sample on one day, not a verdict on Indian media. The mainstream set is larger and posts far more often, so it will dominate any raw count. The number worth watching over weeks is the second one — and on days captured before ingestion started, both numbers are held down by how little of that day was collected at all.

Sources are public RSS feeds from outlet-operated YouTube channels and news sites. Headlines are quoted verbatim for commentary and criticism, each linked to its original. Hindi glosses are unverified working translations. Coverage counts describe a 4-outlet sample on a single day and are not a ranking of Indian media. Per-day totals reflect how much of each day the crawler captured, not how much news there was. Times are UTC. No legal review has been done.
