№: — place; the same number of events, the same place
Under the outlet's name: — how many of the outlet's reports Viche collected over the week
Earliest: — in how many of the week's events the outlet's report was the earliest Viche collected. It is an absolute count, not a share: an outlet that publishes more is more often the earliest
Repeats: — how many reports by other newsrooms over the week were similar to, or forwarded from, the outlet's earlier reports
Similar: — what share of the outlet's compared reports over the week were similar to earlier reports by other newsrooms; forwards are not included, and the league does not show how many reports were compared

High share of reports similar to earlier ones in this sample

Here are the outlets for which at least 80% of the reports compared over the week were similar to earlier reports by other newsrooms, when Viche collected 20 or more of their reports that week. Ordered by that share.

Textual similarity does not prove rewriting: reports based on the same press release or agency story are similar too. For commentary and analysis, retelling others' reports is ordinary work.
