Provisional: Google News was rate-limiting us (every request failed), so all 13 outlets were checked through Bing News only. AP, Reuters and CBS News block direct site search, and the other 10 outlets’ site search only loads in a live browser. A single search engine can miss articles, so this score may go down on recheck.
