In the center of the graph,

This visualization is different in that the link network was constructed by looking only at contextual links, whereas the visualization highlighted in the previous paragraph looked at all links. This is perhaps an even more accurate view of news syndication networks because it better parses out site-wide links, navigation links, and other non-contextual links that affect the graph. Furthermore, the graph was constructed using more than 121 million articles from nearly every country in the world, representing nearly three-quarters of a billion unique links. It represents one of the most accurate snapshots of the dynamics of the global news landscape ever assembled.

The edge weight was determined by the total afghanistan number data of links from each node to every other node. The more links, the stronger the edge. In this case, the node size was calculated using PageRank instead of Domain Authority, even though they are similar metrics.

Using this concept, Mr. Littaro was able to infer some incredibly interesting and potentially powerful relationships that have implications for everyone who serves mainstream publishers. Some of the most important include:

we see a very large cluster. This cluster can be thought of essentially as the “global media core,” as Mr. Littaro calls it. The green nodes represent U.S. outlets. This, like the previous example, shows the frequency with which these major news outlets connect and cover each other’s stories, as well as how rarely they cite sources from smaller publications or local and regional outlets.
Interestingly, CNN seems to play a unique role in delivering local and regional news. Note the many links from CNN in the blue cluster to the right. Mr. Lettaro speculates that this could be a result of other major outlets like the NYTimes and the Washington Post using paywalls. This point is important for anyone who produces content. Paywalls should be something to keep in mind, as they can potentially reduce syndication elsewhere.
The NPR cluster is another interesting one, suggesting that there is a lot of correlation between NPR-related stories and NPR and the Washington Post and NY Times. Getting picked up on NPR's main site could result in syndication to many of its affiliates.This interconnectedness could have a similar effect on NYTimes or Washington Post pickups.
