Google news on a schedule. Only headlines on the home page are fetched.
These results are then ranked by score. The score is determined by a combination of factors: appearance day and time, prominence on the google news page, number of appearances, and others, all weighted using a custom algorithm. The algorithm is designed to estimate referer traffic to the source.
Listed are the top scoring stories in recent time periods, followed by a
ranking of sources. You can bring up more detailed reports by clicking on the links at the bottom of each table.
