Methodology: Liberation Score = composite of four extraction axes (CI, RG, ER, HC) × 50% + emotional direction weighting × 50%. Scores reflect media framing patterns in each state's leading newspaper, not an absolute measure of social conditions. Higher scores indicate more transparent, attribution-rich, liberation-oriented coverage. See /methodology for full framework.
