Whatever insight this is supposed to convey, I'm not getting it.

The individual is but for the news to have any weight they have to run the same thing more than once and talk about the same thing more than twice

Google analytics loves this style of chart

This is so so difficult to process, I barely know what I’m looking at let alone how to understand this

America is seething over police brutality

Chart of the Current Thing, brilliant

What do you mean by grouping the items that emerge later? Thanks for the feedback.

Label on the left and group items that emerge later and don’t grab as much share (Israel, Paul Pelosi, etc). It’s almost unreadable otherwise.

What's more interesting is how it'll exit the news cycle about as fast as it entered it. We'll have the same Trump/DeSantis articles for months and months though.

No, it’s the American defaultists who are stupid. They are completely ignorant of the fact that there are people on the internet who are not in America. This mentality extends way beyond Reddit.

Re Reddit being an ‘American website’. Sure, it’s hosted in the US - but a considerable 46% of users are not there.

Glad it looks good. I figured the title of the chart took care of the y-axis, but I'll label it explicitly in the future. I think the x-axis is pretty clear.

I mean. It looks lovely, but how is it surprising to you that a chart needs both axes to be labeled? Data is pointless if it’s not measurable and your most important metric isn’t even in the presentation

Of course, thanks for your interest!

Thanks for being so helpful!

Which ones are missing?

No worries, here you go:

- 3rd place on Tuesday: Oscar nominations
- 10th place on Monday: Ron Klain resigning as Chief of Staff
- 8th place on Wednesday and Thursday: Biden and the US-Mexico border
- 10th place on Friday: Abortion

It’s fucked up that a shooting isn’t in the top three for a week

Articles from 64 news outlets. I included some explanation in another comment but was downvoted, I think for mentioning my Substack. Lesson learned.

Sorry to do this but what represents each on your graph, thanks for the information.

What was the data source?

Good question! Here they are:

- Oscar nominations

- Ron Klain resigning as Chief of Staff

- Biden and the US-Mexico border

- Abortion

I'm thinking of adding labels to the stories that fell out of the news cycle along the bottom of the chart.

Wow this style of comment sucks. Thanks for making my eyes hurt first thing in the morning.
