PR Source reference

Press source reference

A documented source family note for Radar Six classification: match keys, observation methodology, method limits, cadence expectations, aging policy, and bounded freshness evidence.

Observation methodology

What this source family can show.

Press is treated as an editorial provenance surface. The method separates named attribution and reporting quality from simple republication of the same public artifact.

Canonical match keys

Classification rule

Rows are classified into Press when the raw source key matches one of these canonical aliases.

  • press
  • media
  • news
  • rss_atom_feed:eurogamer_feed
  • rss_atom_feed:gamespot_news_feed
  • rss_atom_feed:polygon_feed
  • rss_atom_feed:ign_feed
  • rss_atom_feed:kotaku_feed

Strengths

Best use

  • Editorial review creates a different reliability bar than social venues.
  • Named attribution can preserve the chain of evidence.
  • Outlet timing can show when a topic crosses from chatter into coverage.

Method limits

Where this surface can mislead.

  • Multiple outlets can repeat one underlying source within hours.
  • Sourcing can remain opaque even in polished coverage.
  • Embargo and rewrite timing can lag the underlying observation.

Cadence expectations

Expected rhythm

Irregular and spike-driven.

How observations age

Aging policy

Press observations age more slowly than chatter, but still move from current feed evidence into historical record after 7d.

Freshness evidence

Current dry-mode posture
