What settings help reduce political or hyperlocal noise?

Apply exclusion filters and source selection

To reduce polarizing or overly localized noise, combine source selection with exclusion rules and moderation settings.

Steps to minimize noise:

  • Exclude hot-button keywords or inflammatory phrasing if they are not relevant.
  • Avoid sensational outlets and focus on neutral reporting.
  • Limit hyperlocal coverage to a specific radius or key municipalities.
  • Use summary-only mode for politics if you need context without deep debate.

Review the results and loosen exclusions if you start missing important policy updates that impact you directly.
