Full spectrum

Same event, different editorial audiences

These clusters contain at least three distinct outlets and at least one qualifying headline from every displayed source position.

No full-spectrum cluster cleared the strict matcher in this window.

Two headlines being about politics is not enough. Coverage Lens waits for specific shared terms or an exact shared Vote File.

Uneven monitored coverage

What one part of the feed is carrying alone

A gap is shown only when at least three distinct monitored outlets cluster around the same story and one or more source positions have no qualifying match.

Method before marketing

What this page can—and cannot—tell you

Coverage Lens measures the feed we actually monitor. It does not pretend to observe every article published in America.

  1. 1
    Headlines remain verbatim.

    We store the headline, short feed clip, outlet, date, and original link. Vote Files does not rewrite or endorse it.

  2. 2
    Clustering is deterministic.

    Items join only when unusual terms overlap strongly or both attach to the same specific Vote File. Every displayed cluster names its match terms, and weak matches remain in the refusal log.

  3. 3
    Position is not credibility.

    Left-of-center, center, and right-of-center describe our view of an outlet’s editorial orientation and audience—not whether a report is true.

  4. 4
    A gap is bounded.

    “Not found” means no qualifying item appeared in that source bucket, feed set, and 96-hour window. It is never a universal absence claim.
