On 52 of 91 days, at least three-quarters of the provincial papers compared ran a front-page headline similar to one of People’s Daily’s. On 30 days a quarter or fewer did. People’s Daily named Xi Jinping in a front-page main headline on 36 of the 52 high days and on 1 of the 30 low days.

Two headlines are similar when they share enough of their characters (overlap of 0.4 or more). A similar headline does not establish that the text was reprinted, or which paper printed it first.

“Israel” (以色列) was in 45 collected articles in seven days; at its share of the four weeks before, about 11 were expected. “Bullying” (霸凌) and “fentanyl” (芬太尼), expected in about 11 and 7, were in none.

Expected: each paper’s share of articles mentioning the term in the 28 days to 5 October, applied to that paper’s articles this week, added across the 25 papers (5,619 collected articles in all).
