05Behind the research

Methodology

How AI Search News Citations Are Measured

The ongoing analysis aims to understand which sources ChatGPT and Gemini prefer when answering news questions. Since the news cycle changes every day, daily tracking makes it easier to separate sources that are cited consistently from those that only appear because of strong coverage of one particular story.

General news

Each day, ChatGPT and Gemini receive the same set of open news questions in German and English. The prompts don’t refer to any specific event or topic. They simply ask what’s happening in the news and leave it to the AI to decide which stories and sources to surface. This mirrors how many people use AI search to catch up on the news without a story in mind, and shows which publishers the AI turns to by default.

Topic deep dives

A second set of prompts deliberately asks for news in categories that publishers cover regularly: Sports, Finance & Economics, and Startups. These targeted questions show which sources AI search trusts once a query has a clear subject, where specialist outlets may gain ground over general news sites. To keep the comparison simple, they are asked in English only. Topic results are kept separate from the general news analysis: the cited sources differ considerably, and mixing them in would bias the results toward topic specialists.

Setup

  • Models: ChatGPT and Gemini
  • Location: Germany
  • Question set: fixed throughout, to make changes over time comparable
  • Tracking since: October 2026
