Coverage about United Kingdom from 1814 distinct publishers, in whatever language
it was reported. Pass country=UK to filter.
What coverage of United Kingdom looks like
A concentrated national press with unusually high international output — a large share of UK-published coverage is about somewhere else, which inflates counts for other countries too.
The media landscape
A small number of national titles with unusually large international output, a shrinking regional press, and a broadcast sector with a substantial online presence. National coverage skews toward Westminster and finance; regional reporting has thinned enough that local stories often reach the index only when a national picks them up.
Querying this market
Use publisher_country=UK when you want British reporting rather than reporting about Britain. The two sets overlap far less than people expect.

What catches people out
A large share of what this filter returns was published elsewhere. UK-based publishers also produce heavy international output, so the reverse holds for other countries — British outlets inflate counts for markets they cover. Separate the two directions with publisher_country before computing anything comparative. The heavy international output cuts both ways: British outlets inflate coverage counts for other countries, and a query about Britain returns a large volume published elsewhere. Financial and legal reporting is the most differentiated material, and the regional press has thinned enough that local stories often appear only after national pickup.

What this market is best for
Best for financial markets, international affairs and legal and regulatory developments, with strong global reach. Weakest for local and regional reporting, which has thinned considerably. Its heavy international output makes it useful as a widely-read secondary view on other markets, and unreliable as a proxy for them.
