Who the news named
Every article of the last 14 days, read for the people and organisations it names. Only names carried by five or more newsrooms appear here. Rank weighs the company a name keeps in the reporting, not how often it appears: a name mentioned rarely but always beside the most-linked names ranks high, a name mentioned constantly with everyone does not. This is a count of who was written about together. It says nothing about why.
