# News research

Search news sources for recent reporting, with region and freshness controls.

## When to use

- Current events, releases, controversies, policy changes.
- Building the "current" family for a topic that has a time dimension.
- Checking whether reporting on an event exists and from whom.

## Tools used

- `search_news` — from `query`, with `region` code (default `US`) and `limit`.

## Workflow

1. Pin the question; decide the region.
2. `search_news`; sort results with freshness in mind (date matters).
3. Check the outlet + date + byline; `web-reader` the article before quoting.
4. Corroborate important claims with `claim-verification` — one outlet is not
   consensus.

## Input schema

```json
{ "query": "str", "limit": "int", "region": "str" }
```

## Output schema

```json
{ "results": "list[{title,url,outlet,date}]" }
```

## Security

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