Captured live: the first item from 09 August 2026 reached the crawler 1 minutes after it was published, so the crawler was running while this day’s items were still inside every feed’s window. It is sampled well. Each RSS feed returns only its latest 15–200 items, so a day’s total is a record of what the crawler saw rather than a measurement of the day: a smaller count is a collection artefact, not a finding. It does not mean less news happened.

Blind spots

Of the 52 stories with coverage from more than one outlet on 09 August 2026:

51 Covered only by mainstream

Led by Where Is Mojtaba Khamenei? | Pezeshkian: Held Productive Talks With Mojtaba | WION (16 items), Women Join Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign | Stitch National Flags Ahead Of Independence Day | Shorts (14 items), Sharad Pawar’s NCP removes all spokespersons (11 items)

0 Covered only by alternative

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

Read this as a description of a 22-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 22-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.
