content_type=newsReported news articles with a publication date and an identifiable outlet.
News is the content type where deduplication matters most: a single wire story can occupy an entire result set as syndicated copies. Always pair it with `collapse=story`.
It is also where corroboration counts earn their keep — `min_independent_sources` separates independently reported facts from one story echoed twelve times.
