# Can Perplexity prioritize the newest sources on a developing story?

When I'm following a developing story, an older article can be less useful than a brief update published an hour ago. Can Perplexity be prompted to focus on the most recent reporting, and does it make the publication dates easy to compare?

I'm not looking for a general summary of the topic; I want to understand how to ask for **recent sources on a developing story** without losing useful background or overlooking a newer update.
