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.

Read this as a description of a 5-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.
