United States news API

What coverage of United States looks like

The largest single stream in the index and the most heavily syndicated. Wire copy from two or three agencies reaches hundreds of outlets within the hour, so raw article counts here overstate independent reporting more than anywhere else.

The media landscape

The press divides into wire services, national brands, metro dailies and a very large tail of local and aggregator sites, and that tail is what inflates counts. Broadcast-affiliate networks republish the same package across dozens of station sites under different domains, which reads as breadth and is not. Filter to a named outlet set for anything comparative, and treat local-affiliate domains as one voice rather than many.

Does this cover articles published in United States, or about it?

About it. The country filter matches the places an article is about, so a wire piece about United States filed from London is in scope and a United States outlet writing about somewhere else is not. To filter by where the publisher is based, use publisher_country instead, and combine the two when you want domestic reporting about the domestic market.

How do I filter news to United States?

Collapse to stories before drawing any conclusion from volume. Pair with publisher_country=US to separate domestic reporting from the very large amount of international coverage about the United States.

Identifiers are FIPS 10-4, not ISO 3166 — why that matters.

What catches people out with United States coverage?

The trap is treating outlet count as corroboration. Two agencies feed most of the market, so forty publishers carrying a story can still mean one newsroom reported it. Weight by distinct originating outlets, not by pickup. Volume also swings hard with the domestic political calendar, so any month-over-month comparison that crosses an election, a budget or a court term is comparing two different baselines rather than measuring a change in attention.

Which outlets cover United States most?

The most active publisher on this country is themarketsdaily.com at roughly 2% of the coverage, and the three busiest — themarketsdaily.com, dailypolitical.com, tickerreport.com — carry about 5% between them. That share is worth reading before the volume figure: concentrated coverage means a large result count can still be a small number of newsrooms. Combine country with source to narrow to publishers you trust, or with language to separate domestic reporting from international.

What this market is best for

Best for breadth and speed on anything with global reach — technology, capital markets, international affairs. Weakest where you need a non-American framing of a non-American event, which is most of the time if your users are not American. Pair it with the market the story is actually happening in rather than treating it as a default lens on the world.

Narrowing further

Two constraints do most of the work on this axis. Adding a language separates domestic reporting from international commentary about United States, which an unscoped country query returns together. Adding a signal range with a lower bound narrows to articles written in a particular register — supply disruption, financial stress, conflict — rather than to articles that merely mention the subject.
