Social

X / Twitter (P2002), Facebook (P2013), Instagram (P2003) usernames as stored in Wikidata.

Known limitations

• When an item has several official websites one is picked arbitrarily; language-specific sites may appear instead of the main one.
• "Active" only means no dissolution date on Wikidata; some historical outlets slip through.
• The magazine class still contains a few non-news publications.
• Coverage is uneven across countries and mirrors Wikipedia's own bias.
• No journalists or contact details are included.
