Every day we count how much the sources we read publish in each domain of culture, per 100 sources reporting that day, and compare it with what that domain normally does on the stamped days before it. The grid below is that comparison: above zero is busier than usual, below zero quieter.
It is a measure of attention, not of importance. A domain can be loud because one story is being repeated, and quiet while something real is forming in it. That is why the cover leads with what was read rather than with what was counted.
