Digest sources
This is the complete active roster: 125 sources, read directly from the same configuration used by the weekly fetcher. The count updates when the roster changes. A place on this list means the source can contribute candidates; it does not guarantee that an item will be fetched, selected, or published.
Reading the list
Tier
0 is the highest-priority pool, 1 is premium, 2 broadens discovery, and 3 is fallback or perspective. Tier is a source-level trust and ranking prior, not an endorsement, quota, or automatic inclusion rule.
Topics
Topics are source-level subject hints, not verified classifications of individual articles. A source may cover several topics; the writer chooses the appropriate section from the article's content.
Acquisition
“Feed” is the configured RSS or Atom endpoint. “Sitemap” is a constrained fallback. “Site discovery” means the fetcher discovers a feed, resolves a channel, or extracts a public page. The website and configured acquisition URL are both shown.
Source count is not independent corroboration. Publications can repeat the same press release, wire report, research paper, or vendor claim. The pipeline can count distinct source names covering a clustered story, but that alone does not establish independent reporting.
