- Checking whether reporting on an event exists and from whom.
Tools used

Workflow
- Pin the question; decide the region.
search_news; sort results with freshness in mind (date matters).- Check the outlet + date + byline;
web-readerthe article before quoting. - Corroborate important claims with
claim-verification— one outlet is not consensus.
Input schema
{ "query": "str", "limit": "int", "region": "str" }

Headlines are claims, not facts. Record outlet/date as part of the evidence; do not present single-outlet coverage as settled.
