This is interesting, but it seems like it is tracking stories with similar headlines and that's not always how news propagates. Frequently a blogger will read an interview, select an quote from the interview and write a new headline around the quote they cherry picked. It used to be common practice to link the original source, but that always doesn't happen.
I have long thought that search engines, news aggregators and social media companies have a journalistic responsibility to favor the original/primary source of every story, but things have not worked out that way. If you can manage to truly develop something like this it would be a valuable tool for rewarding the work of reporting over SEO.
Anyway, please consider that headlines and time stamps do not tell the entire story when it comes to sourcing.

This is complicated somewhat by the few that take an already-circulating story and then add their own actual research rather than just rewording and opining.
Go hunt down the lineage of the “AI water use” articles floating around.
It’s all circular.
I don’t know how one is supposed to trust any of the media at this point. Especially “reputable” ones that are just as guilty of circular nonsense as anything else.
If you don’t follow the media, you are uninformed. If you follow it, you are misinformed.

For example: Your website offers this story (https://hotspotatl.com/6587626/dr-jackie-married-to-medicine...) as first to publish. But right in the text it cites another website BOSSIP as the source of the interview.
Also: there doesn't appear to be a way to link results from your website.
