Center of Attention — Methodology, Data, and Bibliography

This page documents every measurement in Center of Attention: what was counted, how, from what data, with what known limits — and the full bibliography with archive links. Everything is reproducible from public data with no credentials. Where a choice had to be made, I made the one that worked against the article's thesis.

The anchors below are linked from the article: series · comparators · census · tables-2019 · tables-2024 · decade · scaling · regions · composition · gdp · tv · decay · persistence · themes · tone-by-region · x-layer · wikipedia-calibration · bibliography


The method

Dataset. The GDELT Project's Global Knowledge Graph (GKG) — the largest open index of the world's online news — in both its English stream and its Translingual stream (65 machine-translated languages), published every 15 minutes since February 2015. Each record is one news article with GDELT's geocoded location mentions, the outlet's domain, and a document tone score (−10…+10; negative = negative language).

Sampling frame. For each calendar year 2017–2026 (2026 through Aug 18), one 15-minute slot every second day, with the hour of day and minute rotated so all times of day and days of week are represented; both language streams read for every slot. Total: 14,679,657 articles sampled across 10 years (roughly 0.5–1% of everything GDELT monitors, evenly spread). Missing slots roll to the next 15-minute file.

Per-article coding.

  • Countries mentioned = the set of countries in GDELT's location field.
  • Primarily about X (the strict measure) = X is the country with the most location mentions in the article. This is the measure behind every headline claim: "stories about Israel," not passing mentions.
  • Outlet home country = the domain's country-code TLD where it has one (.il, .uk, .br…), else GDELT's published 2015–2021 outlet-country lookup, else unknown (<0.01%).
  • International = the outlet's home country ≠ the country being counted. Israel's totals therefore exclude the Times of Israel, JPost, Ynet, Haaretz, i24, Israel Hayom, Arutz Sheva — and also foreign-based outlets whose coverage is predominantly about Israel (JNS, Algemeiner, WAFA), because the outlet-country lookup assigns them to Israel. That choice deflates Israel's numbers, and the same rule is applied to every country identically.
  • Tone = average article tone over international articles; negative share = fraction of articles scoring below −2.0.

Denominators. Population: World Bank WDI (2024), Taiwan from its Ministry of the Interior. GDP: World Bank current US$. Conflict deaths: Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) GED 25.1 "best" estimates — the conservative, event-verified academic standard (UCDP codes Gaza/West Bank events under Israel). Per-capita rank tables use a ≥5M population floor so micro-states don't dominate; the ≥1M versions are in the raw tables and do not change Israel's rank.

Scripts and raw data. The full pipeline — samplers, aggregation checkpoints, table generators, TV harvester, decay analysis — is available on request as a reproducibility package (gkg_sample*.py, report.py, breakdown*.py, tonereg.py, tv_harvest.py, tv_decay.py, per-year aggregates and CSV tables). Nothing requires credentials.


Series

Israel's share of all sampled international articles, its world ranks, and its tone, by year. "% any" = share of articles mentioning; "% primary" = share of articles primarily about.

Year Israel % any Israel % primary World rank, absolute (primary) World rank, per capita (primary, pop ≥5M) #2 per capita that year Israel ÷ #2 Israel tone % of articles < −2 Articles sampled

The article's holy-geography comparison — Lebanon 1/5, Jordan 1/12, Egypt 1/53 of Israel's attention per capita — uses the 2019 quiet-year strict ruler (Israel 1,997.1 primarily-about articles per 1M residents; Lebanon 407.3; Jordan 166.5; Egypt 37.5), the same ruler as the Taiwan/Japan/ South Korea alliance comparison.

The article's year-range formulations ("7 to 16 times more than Canada, 50 - 137x Brazil, 200 - 600x India") are the minimum and maximum of the annual per-capita multiples across 2017–2026 from the per-year tables.

Census

An independent cross-check by a completely different method: GDELT DOC 2.0 full-index keyword counts ((Israel OR Israeli OR Israelis) -sourcecountry:IS, and the equivalent for every comparator) — a census of all ~60–228M articles GDELT monitored per year, no sampling and no geocoding. Convergence with the GKG sample: Pearson r = 0.958 across 128 country-years. The census runs slightly below the sample for Israel (keyword matching misses articles that say only "Gaza," "Jerusalem" or "Netanyahu"), so it is the conservative floor. Floor numbers: 1,789,703 international articles mentioning Israel in 2019 (of 170.5M monitored); 2,045,808 in 2024 (3.42% of 59.8M); 1,181,010 in Jan–Aug 2026 (3.64%).

Tables 2019

2019: no war — 83 conflict deaths all year (UCDP). Sample: 457 slots, 2,233,037 articles. 1 of every 112 international articles was primarily about Israel (0.89%).

International articles primarily about the country, per 1M residents (population ≥5M), top 20:

Tables 2024

2024: war. Sample: 458 slots, 1,796,208 articles. 1 in 50 of the world's international articles primarily about Israel (2.02%); 1 in 26 mentioning it (3.79%). Absolute rank: #2 on Earth, behind only the United States.

Note that even at war, with a 3.4× lead over the runner-up, every other entry in the top 20 is a rich, quiet Western democracy or a war zone with 4–7 times Israel's population.

Decade

All 10 sampled years weighted equally. Israel: mean annual share primarily-about 1.09% of all international articles on Earth; mean tone −2.77. Per capita rank: #1, at 2.4× the runner-up (Sweden). Absolute rank across the decade: #6 of all countries — behind the US, China, UK, Russia and France; ahead of Ukraine (at war since 2022), Germany, Japan, and every country in Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Scaling

Scaled from sample shares to GDELT's full 2019 monitored volume (~170M articles): about 1.5 million international news articles primarily about Israel in 2019 — roughly one story for every 7 Israelis — versus one per 16 Swedes, 24 Swiss, 36 Austrians, 47 Canadians, 340 Brazilians, 1,550 Indians. (The census floor for mentions, 1.79M, is consistent.)

Regions

International articles primarily about Israel vs the summed total of whole regions (2024): Israel 36,225 — sub-Saharan Africa, 48 countries and 1.3 billion people, 17,036 (Israel = 213%); the Arab League's 22 states 28,640 (Israel = 126%); South Asia (incl. India and Pakistan, ~2 billion people) 14,963 (Israel = 242%); ASEAN 12,657 (Israel = 286%). Israel exceeds sub-Saharan Africa's combined total in 2018 and in every completed year since October 7 (2023, 2024, 2025). Full year-by-year tables (both measures) in the raw tables.

Composition

Who produces the world's Israel coverage (outlet home country):

2019 (quiet year), stories primarily about Israel: ~69% from outlets in Muslim-majority countries — the Palestinian territories alone ≈ 58% (WAFA, the Palestinian Authority's official agency, Ma'an and peers) — and ~24% from Western outlets (US ≈ 12%). On the broader mentioning measure the top sources were: West Bank 36.4%, United States 19.0%, Turkey 3.7%, Russia 2.9%, UK 2.1%, Syria 2.1%.

2024 (war), stories primarily about Israel: the composition flips — Western outlets ≈ 60%, Muslim-majority-country outlets ≈ 27%. Top sources on the mentioning measure: United States 20.9%, Turkey 6.6%, UK 5.7%, Greece 4.5%, Egypt 4.5%, Germany 4.2%.

Both readings are stated in the article: in quiet years the permanent floor is substantially the Muslim world's state-dominated press keeping Israel on the page; in war years the West saturates.

GDP

Articles primarily about the country per $1B of GDP (countries with GDP ≥ $100B):

2019: 1. Venezuela (76.9/$B — an economy in collapse), 2. Ukraine (58.7), 3. Israel (36.8), 4. Iran (22.5), 5. Greece (17.3). 2024: 1. Ukraine (115.5 — a country under invasion), 2. Israel (66.8), 3. Venezuela (39.6), 4. Sweden (18.8), 5. Greece (17.8).

The only countries that outrank Israel on this measure, in either year, are Venezuela and Ukraine.

TV

Television measured directly from closed captions: the GDELT Television 2.0 API over the Internet Archive's TV News Archive — the share of all monitored 15-second caption clips mentioning each country's name terms, averaged per day and across stations. Two groups: US cable (CNN + Fox News

  • MSNBC; archive from mid-2009) and BBC News (from 2017). The archive feed ends October 11, 2024.
  • 2024, US cable: Israel was the most-mentioned country on Earth — 3.26% of all airtime, ahead of Iran (1.22%), Russia (1.20%), Ukraine (1.09%), China (0.64%). Adding "Gaza" (1.02%) and "Hamas" (1.05%) — terms that are also Israel-war coverage — widens the lead.
  • 2024, BBC News: Israel was mentioned in 6.0% of all airtime — one broadcast minute in every 17.
  • 2010–2016 (pre-sample era): by airtime share per capita, Israel ranked #1 among 21 major countries and conflict zones (incl. Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iran, North Korea, Russia, China, India, Brazil, Canada, Sudan, DRC, Ethiopia, Yemen, Myanmar) in every single year — extending the measured persistence record to 2010–2026.
  • Caveats: caption keyword matching, not geocoding; US cable is driven by US domestic politics (Russia 2017–19 = the Trump-Russia story, not Russia); "India," "Turkey," "Congo" carry name ambiguities that inflate those comparators — i.e., bias against Israel's lead, not for it.

Decay

For each major eruption of the last five years, daily US-cable airtime share from event day forward (tv_decay.py; baseline = mean of the 90 pre-event days):

Case Peak (share of airtime) at day 30 (% of peak) day 90 day 180 1 year day 540 2 years
Israel (Oct 7, 2023) 33.9% 48% 10% 12% 25% archive ends
Ukraine (invasion, 2022) 24.6% 69% 13% 8% 32% 4% 15%
Afghanistan (Kabul, 2021) 26.7% 27% 2% 2% 5% 1% 1%
Sudan (civil war, 2023) 1.5% 1% 2% 1% 1% 1% archive ends
Nagorno-Karabakh (2023) 0.08% 3% 1% 1% 0% archive ends
Israel (May 2021 war) 6.4% 10% 4% 1% 4% 3% 4%
Ethiopia (Tigray, 2020) 0.03%

Kabul consumed 27% of airtime on its peak week and was at 2% of peak in 90 days. Sudan's only peak was the week of the American-citizen evacuation; in the following 18 months it cleared 1% of daily airtime on 8 days. Tigray — the deadliest war of the decade — never reached 0.03% of airtime on any day, so a "% of peak" curve for it would be percent of nothing; that absence is the finding. Israel after Oct 7 held above 1% of all cable airtime on 344 of the next 365 days, averaged 5.65% for the full year (higher than Ukraine's first-year 4.94%), and at one year was rising — 25% of peak, with a "quiet-day" floor 27× its own pre-war baseline. The archive ends Oct 11, 2024 (Israel observed to day 371).

Persistence

In print, the same signature. Israel's share of all international articles (mentioning), by calendar year since Oct 7: 2023: 2.85% → 2024: 3.79% → 2025: 3.07% → 2026 (Jan–Aug): 3.61% — every post-war year above the first, no decay. Compare the standard lifespans: Ethiopia's share was flat through its own war (0.19 → 0.23 → 0.16% across 2020–2022 — its deadliest year was its least-covered of the three); Sudan's war moved it from 0.18% to 0.32% for one year, then back down to 0.18% while the war grew worse; Myanmar's coup bump (0.17%) halved within a year. Israel's floor — its share in years when nothing happens (1.0–1.7% mentioning, 0.3–0.9% primary) — is a level other small countries touch only in the worst week of their history.

Themes

Share of international stories primarily about the country carrying GDELT conflict themes (kill / terror / armed conflict / military / massacre / airstrike / hostage / genocide …): Israel 2019: 61% (49% on the narrower kill/terror/armed-conflict set) — the tier of Iran (61%) and Lebanon (55%) — versus 23–29% for Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, UK, Germany and Japan, and 40–42% for Brazil, India and Mexico. 2024: 88% (84%). Israel is written about as a conflict that happens to contain a country; its Western peers are written about as countries.

Tone by region

Restricting to Western outlets only, stories about Israel:

  • 2019 (quiet): tone −2.2, 49% negative — the register Western outlets applied that year to Russia, Turkey and North Korea (their Canada coverage ran −0.1, Switzerland +0.1, Sweden −0.6).
  • 2024 (war): tone −4.42, 78% negative — darker than the same outlets' coverage that year of Russia (−3.3), Iran (−3.7) or Syria (−3.8). One country's Western-press register ran darker still: Yemen (−4.81) — which is why the article's claim is "darker than Russia's, Iran's or Syria's," not "darker than everything."

The negativity is therefore not an artifact of the Palestinian/Arab/ Muslim-world press share: the West's own register is the darkest part of the composite. Western-outlet per-capita ranks (strict): 2019 Israel #3 (behind Ireland and Sweden — i.e., in quiet years Western media cover Israel like a small rich European country, though still 22× Brazil and 112× India per capita); 2024 #1 at 3.8× Sweden (11.5× Canada, 144× Brazil, 662× India), and #2 absolute behind only the US.

X layer

No open census of X/Twitter volume exists, so the article makes no measured platform-total claims of its own. What it uses, each labeled in place: (a) X's own first-party statements (50M+ posts on Oct 7–9, 2023; enforcement totals one and two years in) — the platform's numbers, linked and archived; (b) a disclosed same-hour sampling proxy run on an ordinary news day (2026-08-24): identical "Latest" searches returned Israel/Gaza posts seconds apart around the clock, Sudan posts minutes-to-hours apart, DRC/Tigray/Myanmar posts hours-to-days apart — the same never-off-the-page signature the news data measures; (c) within-account counts over fixed windows for the largest "Palestine"-advocacy accounts (Israel/Gaza posts every few hours vs other-crisis posts days-to-weeks apart) and engagement asymmetry inside single institutional accounts (@hrw's sampled Israel posts: 584–1,314 likes; its South Sudan posts: 33–61). These are proxies with stated windows, not platform statistics, and the counter-examples found (African-crisis advocacy posts by the same accounts) are noted in the article's claims file.

Wikipedia calibration

What people choose to look up, versus what they are fed: English Wikipedia views of each country's article per 1,000 residents, 2019 — Qatar 889 (World Cup bid coverage), Ireland 570, Norway 545, Israel 513, Denmark 482, Switzerland 420, Lebanon 415. Organic curiosity about Israel sits in the ordinary small-rich-country tier; the news volume does not.
