When I click the News tab on Google's results for Paradise Papers I mainly get coverage from British and Australian sources. I have a hard time finding any in the US.

Is this a Google filter (I'm in Europe)? Or related to the affiliations of the investigators? Or a time zone thing?

I read nytimes is on the team (but has not published anything yet).

Edit: There you go https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/05/world/paradise-papers.htm...

Could be a time zone thing or recent change where google return results based on your current location?

If you want results from US you can go to the google homepage > settings > search settings > region settings

It's indeed on 'Current region' and apparently that includes Australia and UK, but not US. Strange.

As I'm writing this I've only found a mention on the nytimes homepage (rather small). In Europe it seems to be the main (breaking) news on most sites.

This bomb dropped Sunday in the US. There's plenty of coverage on the NYTimes front page. They obviously got early access.

It's still Sunday in Europe too. Compared to being the main (breaking) news on many (most?) major news sites in Europe, I'm genuinely curious why this difference?

The main focus seems to be on 'remarkable' (for lack of a better word) ties between prominent people. I can't imagine there's less interest about this in the US? Or is there some fatigue?
