A share is how many of a part of the world's headlines name the country (its name, capital or leader) out of all its headlines. Comparing shares of their own headlines is fair: the parts of the world have different numbers of outlets. Fewer than 300 headlines is little data. We claim nothing — we only show who wrote what and when.
