@ItsDataDan @JtothaVizzo This is so awesome!

@JesseHolcomb Don't think there is a great way but I like letting news publishers self identify (e.g. looking at their "about us" page or asking them). Of course some publishers will cast a wider net when describing what they cover - but IMO its replicable & less subjective than alternatives
