What do these labels mean?
We compare Google’s trend start, or our first search observation when that’s unavailable, with the earliest article linked to the story.
- News-first
- The news came first. The first linked article appeared more than an hour before the search trend began.
- Search-first
- Searches came first. The search trend began more than an hour before the first news story we track.
- Same time
- Searches and linked news coverage began within an hour of each other.

About the search figures and timing labels
Search figures use Google’s 48-hour measurement window. Timing labels compare available linked article dates with the search timestamps; they do not establish cause or the first report anywhere.
