Articles published per 4 hours, every source we read — not only the ones that formed a trend. Pale bars are still filling. Two thirds of an hour arrives within half an hour of publication and three quarters within ninety minutes; the rest trickles in over the next day or two, mostly from outlets we have only just started reading.
