Methodology

## What this measures

This measures the share of world news articles about armed conflict, in percent. It reflects the volume of conflict coverage in a given day's news cycle relative to all other themes.

## Background

Share of world news articles about armed conflict.

GDELT's Global Knowledge Graph tags clusters of world news articles with themes. The value is the share of all articles in the day's GKG file whose cluster carries the theme ARMEDCONFLICT, in percent, weighted by the cluster's article count. Noisy day to day; read a 7- or 30-day average. The GDELT Project, gdeltproject.org — unrestricted use with citation. Synced daily by /api/cron/gdelt-events-sync.

## Why it matters

Surges in armed conflict coverage can signal heightened geopolitical risk, which affects supply chains, commodity prices, and market sentiment. Organizations with international operations or exposure to trade routes use this to gauge when conflict is commanding global attention and when risk perceptions may shift.

## How to read it

A rising share means armed conflict is claiming a larger portion of the news cycle; a falling share means other themes are dominating. Compare a 7- or 30-day average to smooth daily noise and identify sustained shifts in conflict coverage.

## What it does not say

It does not measure the severity, geographic spread, or actual incidence of armed conflict. It captures only the volume of news coverage tagged with the theme, which can be driven by media cycles and reporting intensity rather than changes on the ground.
