Provisional: Google News (5 term variants for AP, Reuters and The Washington Post; 3 for the others) and Bing News (5 variants, outlet domain only) were both used. 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.

Search terms
“Cherokee Nation childcare”, “Cherokee child care”, “Cherokee Nation $50 million”, “Hoskin childcare”, “Cherokee Nation child care initiative”
Method
- bing-news site: (5 term variants per outlet)
- google-news site: tried once per outlet; partly available
- direct open of every possible match on the outlet’s site
- extra Bing News headline searches for wire copies on other outlets
- editor read of every candidate headline
A match counts only if the outlet’s own article is about this story, not a passing mention. “Not found” means not found by these methods; search engines index only part of each site. Stories are rechecked daily for pickups; the score itself is locked to coverage as of our publish date.
