Provenance

  • MediaCloud is the initial provider; each result retains its provider story identifier.
  • Collection membership is preserved separately from source and story geography.
  • MediaCloud and Lucid News records are intentionally not merged, even when URLs overlap.
  • The rolling raw metadata window is 30 days; saved evidence retains original URLs and identifiers.
