NEWS RESEARCH · Workflow idea
Ask a research question, review recent coverage, and organize the distinct claims and publications found so it is easier to see where reporting overlaps—or does not.
01 / The starting point
A question about recent news coverage
“Find recent coverage related to my question, list distinct reported claims with source links, and distinguish claims covered by multiple independent publishers from those found in one source.”
02 / The work
Searches recent news coverage, groups reports into claims, counts distinct publishing domains for each claim, and records the findings for later review.
Describe what you want to learn so the search can gather relevant recent coverage.
Collect relevant articles and group related reporting into distinct claims with their original source links.
Count distinct publishing domains for each claim and label whether coverage meets your chosen corroboration threshold.
Summarize claims with linked publishers and make the spread of coverage visible.
Save claims and sources for later reference, then check the original reporting before treating a claim as established.
If the search finds no usable coverage, provide possible follow-up questions instead of filling the gap with speculation.
03 / The result
A source-linked claim summary and saved research record. If usable coverage is not found, receive suggested directions for further research instead of an unsupported answer.
Research & strategy · Example outcome
A source-linked claim summary and saved research record. If usable coverage is not found, receive suggested directions for further research instead of an unsupported answer.
Multiple outlets reporting a claim is not proof that it is true, and one source does not make it false. Review the linked reporting and its independence before drawing conclusions.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Choose the default language, lookback period, and amount of coverage to include.
Set the number of distinct publishing domains required for a claim to be labeled as corroborated.
Choose where to keep each question, claim, coverage label, publisher count, and source link.
Assign a person to inspect important sources and distinguish reporting overlap from verified truth.
