Apply topic-specific weighting to mixed sources
Some outlets are strong in certain subjects and weaker in others. Treat credibility as topic-dependent rather than absolute.
Management approach:
- Track source performance by topic and assign conditional trust levels.
- Use them for topics where they have specialist expertise and avoid them elsewhere.
- Cross-check their reporting with specialist outlets for contested areas.
- Adjust feed rules so mixed sources dont overpower more reliable outlets.
This nuanced approach preserves valuable coverage while guarding against blind trust.
