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 earliest linked article was published more than an hour before the recorded search trend start.
Search-first
The recorded search trend start was more than an hour before the earliest linked article.
Same time
The recorded search trend start and earliest linked article were 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.
