Summary
- The conflict in the Middle East, amid Israeli and American bombings of military infrastructure and nuclear sites in Iran, and the war in Ukraine were the dominant topics in June, generating visibility and mentions for the vast majority of the international actors monitored. Also noteworthy were the NATO summit in The Hague, the B9 summit in Vilnius, and a series of sporting events (football-related).
- The United States maintains its dominant position at the top of the mentions ranking, far ahead of Ukraine in second place and the EU in third. Behind them, relatively close to the EU, is Russia. Compared to the previous month, the top of the ranking remains unchanged. However, there is a significant increase in visibility for Israel and NATO, the only actors showing an upward trend in this indicator.
- The U.S. also leads the ranking by estimated views (impact of mentions), followed by Russia and Ukraine, which switched places compared to the previous month. The EU ranks fourth. Overall, most of the analyzed actors saw a decline in estimated views. Exceptions include Israel and NATO, both registering a high increase in impact.
- For all monitored actors, the majority of mentions appeared in online press sources. More balanced distributions between the two types of sources (online press and Facebook) were observed for NATO, China, and France, but even for these actors, mentions were primarily found in online press.
- When analyzing the share of local sources in the total number of mentions for each international actor, Germany stands out with the highest local contribution (almost 20%). France also registers a notable share of local sources (around 18%), followed by the EU (almost 16%). On the opposite end are Russia (with almost 8% of mentions generated by local sources), China (approx. 9%), and the U.S. (approx. 10%).
