Not sure this was intended to be a Q&A, but one more follow-up - a lot of times a story gets repeated as if its in an echo chamber, where it starts from one source, and then other papers/sources simply run with the exact same story (i.e. no new confirmation of a particular link) - are you able to diminish the weight of each successive story - or do they simply carry whatever weight is associated to each specific source?
All papers/sources that quote it carry a weight and it will impact the index score but more often than not we try to ensure it's weighted off the original link.
