Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

New York Magazine reviews work of writer Ross Barkan after plagiarism allegations
New York Magazine is conducting a review of contract writer Ross Barkan's past work following accusations that he plagiarized content from multiple sources, including The Washington Post, The Intercept, and Compact Magazine. NPR identified at least three instances where Barkan's articles contained passages nearly identical to previously published work, including opening paragraphs lifted wholesale and identical sequences of 30+ words. The magazine updated one story to properly attribute the original reporting after the similarity was flagged on social media.
