The core idea
News collections can contain repeated coverage, updates to existing stories, and unrelated items with similar headlines. A stable source identifier is more dependable than title matching alone. Preserve the publisher’s description and make any rewritten summary a separate, reviewable field.
A workable starting pattern
Define how the collection handles new items, changed items, and items removed from the current source window. Group coverage by topic without claiming that all reports establish the same facts. Review headlines and excerpts after a material correction, and keep the original destination visible.
A revised article can retain its item identity while its body changes. A separate follow-up report should remain a separate record, even when the subject and many words in its headline resemble the earlier coverage.
