Global news radar

The map follows the last 12 hours. Brighter lights highlight recent, consequential developments and fade rapidly as reports age. Strong signals breathe; routine reports stay quiet. Nearby locations blend like city lights at a distance and separate as you zoom. Connected reporting shares a rhythm.

Conflict escalation, diplomacy, elections, intelligence, civil liberties, major leaks and systemic disruption receive more weight. Old coverage, commentary, routine weather observations and repeated headlines receive less. Political viewpoint, follower counts and sensational wording do not earn extra weight.

Single-source reports can surface immediately. Briefings show the source, timestamp, location precision, reason for priority and similar coverage. Multiple publishers may share the same original reporting; similarity is not independent verification.

Lights use source coordinates or named-place matches. Country-level reports remain approximate and are identified in the briefing. Locations are never scattered artificially. Dashed connections show places mentioned in a selected report; official footprints and tracks use source geometry.

On mobile, the map opens a little closer to the strongest recent activity. Once you interact, it stays where you put it. The world-view control always returns to the whole map.

Feeds refresh every two minutes, subject to source availability. Original publication and observation times are preserved. Expired warnings are removed; unavailable feeds retain timestamped cached reports. This is a selective reporting dashboard, not an emergency alert service.
