A practical guide to governance of configured news sources in TEMIRIN using configured records, explicit market identity, current controls, and human review.

The best news sources for a Polymarket researcher depend on what resolves the contract. Start with the exact market wording, close time, outcome identifiers, and named resolution source. A market about an official economic release needs the publishing agency and its calendar near the top of the list. A market about an election needs the responsible election authority, court records, and reputable reporting that distinguishes a projection from a certified result. Source selection begins with resolution relevance, not with the loudest account in a feed.
Create a short source map for each watchlist theme. Separate primary publishers, specialist reporting, broad news wires, and commentary so a reviewer can see what role each item plays. TEMIRIN stores configured RSS and HTTPS web records with provenance and can retain provider-configured Telegram or X records when those connectors are available in the deployment. The configured list defines coverage; it should never be presented as a complete scan of everything published online.
Official sources are strongest when the contract settles on an agency statement, filing, calendar, vote count, or published dataset. Save the canonical page and check whether the publisher supplies both a release time and a later revision. Macro releases often arrive with prior-period revisions, seasonal adjustments, or separate headline and core measures. A fast alert is useful only if the reviewer can open the exact table and confirm that it answers the contract rather than a related statistic.
Crypto markets require another mix: protocol status pages, project announcements, exchange notices, regulatory filings, and reporting that can verify an operational event. Telegram and X may carry the earliest public statement, but an account identity, post time, deletion, or edited wording can matter. Preserve the provider reference and observed time, then seek the underlying document when one exists. Repetition across several channels is not independent confirmation when every post points back to the same announcement.
A source can be reputable while the collection record is stale or incomplete. Inspect the canonical URL, supplied publication time, TEMIRIN observation time, connector status, and duplicate state. For RSS and web records, canonicalization and content deduplication help keep repeated copies from crowding the review queue. A failed fetch should remain visible as an operational gap; the last successful record must not be silently treated as a fresh update.
Use reliability, relevance, direction, freshness, and source tier as inspectable context rather than as a verdict. These deterministic fields help sort stored evidence, but they do not establish truth or forecast an outcome. When a publisher corrects an article, preserve the later observation and make the change attributable. Reviewers should be able to explain which version they saw, when they saw it, and why it mattered to the precise market question.
Link evidence to a watchlist market only through the explicit market identifier supported by the workspace. Open the contract on the venue, verify its status and resolution language, then compare the preserved trigger price with the latest available price, bid, ask, spread, and visible depth. Those values are timestamped public-market observations. They add price context to research, but they do not convert a news item into a recommendation or promise that a venue transaction is available at the displayed level.
Finish with an attributable note: list the sources opened, unresolved questions, price timestamp, and the reason the item changed or did not change the thesis. If a notification was delivered through email, Telegram, Slack, or webhook, treat its delivery ledger as transport history only. The authenticated workspace remains the place to inspect evidence and record an approve or reject decision. The reviewer keeps every real capital decision within the user's own eligibility and risk process.
Record the publisher, exact RSS or HTTPS address, review purpose, owner, canonical link, observation time, and ingestion status. Those fields let a reviewer assess authority, freshness, and operational health from the stored record.
Use canonicalization and deduplication state to identify repetition, then return to the originating publisher. Several copies of one report remain one underlying report, while each collection attempt retains its own operational history.
The item needs a supported explicit market identifier, and the reviewer should verify the exact question, outcome, date, threshold, jurisdiction, and resolution wording before relying on that connection.
