Full Analysis Summary

Missing source articles

I cannot create the requested 4–6 paragraph article about the Justice Department subpoenaing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell because you did not provide any source articles to use.

Your request asks me to base the piece strictly on provided articles and to cite them for every paragraph, but the prompt section labeled 'Here are the articles:' is empty, so there are no primary texts for me to summarize or compare.

Given your requirement that I answer only from the supplied sources, I must request those articles before I can proceed.

Please provide the reformatted version with the specified structure.

The output should be formatted as a JSON instance that conforms to the provided JSON schema with paragraphs and subheader fields.

Cannot Verify Without Sources

The required articles are missing, so I cannot verify facts, quote sources, or identify differences in coverage or tone across source types such as West Asian, Western mainstream, and Western alternative.

Developer instructions also require highlighting differences across sources and including at least three to five citations per paragraph.

Without distinct source texts, I cannot perform those comparisons or provide the mandated citations.

You asked me to provide the reformatted version with the specified structure and to output a JSON instance that matches the provided schema.

The example in the prompt demonstrates a valid JSON instance and contrasts it with an improperly formatted object.

The required output schema specifies two fields: 'paragraphs', an array of paragraph strings, and 'subheader', a short string describing the collection.

Article formatting instructions

If you provide the articles (paste them into the chat or attach them), I will produce a 4–6 paragraph article strictly based on those sources, with each paragraph including a citations list of at least three different sources and a section explaining differences in coverage, tone, or omissions between source types.

I will explicitly name each source (source_name), quote verbatim where appropriate, and clearly mark when a source is 'reporting' or 'quoting' another party rather than asserting the claim as its own.

Please provide the reformatted version with the specified structure.

The output should be formatted as a JSON instance that conforms to the JSON schema below.

As an example, for the schema {"properties": {"foo": {"title": "Foo", "description": "a list of strings", "type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}}, "required": ["foo"]} the object {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]} is a well-formatted instance of the schema.

The object {"properties": {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]}} is not well-formatted.

Here is the output schema:

{"properties": {"paragraphs": {"description": "Output must be a python list of paragraphs with each element being a paragraph in string format.", "items": {"type": "string"}, "title": "Paragraphs", "type": "array"}, "subheader": {"description": "A python string of the subheader you have decided for the paragraphs in totality", "title": "Subheader", "type": "string"}}, "required": ["paragraphs", "subheader"]}

Source and formatting instructions

Please either (a) paste the articles or links to the exact texts you want me to use, or (b) authorize me to use a set of publicly available news reports (and specify which outlets you prefer).

If you choose (b), state the outlets and I will gather reporting and then produce the requested article and difference analysis.

Until I receive source material, any attempt to write the article would violate your instruction to rely strictly on supplied articles and would risk factual errors.

Please provide the reformatted version with the specified structure.

The output should be formatted as a JSON instance that conforms to the JSON schema below.

As an example, for the schema {"properties": {"foo": {"title": "Foo", "description": "a list of strings", "type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}}, "required": ["foo"]} the object {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]} is a well-formatted instance of the schema.

The object {"properties": {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]}} is not well-formatted.

Here is the output schema:

{"properties": {"paragraphs": {"description": "Output must be a python list of paragraphs with each element being a paragraph in string format.", "items": {"type": "string"}, "title": "Paragraphs", "type": "array"}, "subheader": {"description": "A python string of the subheader you have decided for the paragraphs in totality", "title": "Subheader", "type": "string"}}, "required": ["paragraphs", "subheader"]}
