World press tracker - Emergencies
Since March 15 we have been experiencing technical difficulties with the World Press Tracker data, which we are working to fix. We hope to restore the full service as soon as possible.
Which emergencies grab the media limelight? Which are "forgotten" by the press? Use the search tools below to compare global coverage of different crises. To see exact data, click on the blue file icon in the bottom-right corner of the graph.
The default graph shows the 10 most covered crises since AlertNet started tracking media coverage in September 2006. To learn how our media monitoring works, see our methodology.
