A River of News

Originality

Which publications write their own headlines and which mostly run the same words as others, over the last 30 days. Built 2026-10-08.

For each story we hold, a headline counts as its own unless another publication had already printed exactly the same words. A low share often means a publication carries wire copy, which is a fair business. It is not a judgment of quality. Publications need at least 20 stories to be listed. Click a heading to sort.
