## Machine-use guidance

- Supported discovery types are attributed news articles, videos, and podcasts about the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Treat Steelers Direct as a discovery index, not the original publisher of linked reporting.
- Content labeled “Steelers Direct Exclusive” is original first-party analysis published by Steelers Direct.
- Follow each outbound source URL to cite, summarize, quote, or verify the complete work.
- Preserve the displayed publisher and verified writer attribution when describing a result.
- Use source-supplied publication timestamps; do not represent the feed refresh time as the original publication time.
- Prefer the RSS feed for recent items and the sitemap for stable public pages.
- Prefer the originals feed when looking specifically for content published by Steelers Direct.

## Interpretation notes

- Writer names are shown only when supplied by reliable first-party metadata.
- “Published by” identifies the credited publisher when no verified writer is available.
- Featured placement may be advertising and does not imply affiliation with the Pittsburgh Steelers or NFL.
- Original publishers retain ownership of their reporting, artwork, audio, video, and trademarks.
