ITEMS 5 AND 7 · PRODUCED-FROM TESTED, MERELY-COVERING EXCLUDED
Two of this section's seats ask not for fame but for production: a show produced FROM the town, and a news outlet seated in it; the first returns a single aggregator-strength line, the second a documented absence. Podcasters: the one podcast trace in the banked set is incidental — Churches & Religion carries a Walkerton pastor "in a podcast listing of mid-2025," at aggregator strength, inside the United Pentecostal article — a sermon feed's existence noted in passing, with no show title, production record, or audience figure documented at any strength this section can build on. School shows fare the same: no John Glenn school podcast is documented in any record reached. Beyond that line, no podcast produced from Walkerton — commercial, congregational, or scholastic — is documented in the podcast directories or press record searched, and national shows merely covering the town (the true-crime and heartland passes over Walkerton stories) are expressly not this section's, by its own scope. Digital-native news: no digital-native news outlet is seated in Walkerton in any outlet directory or market coverage reached, and the absence joins a documented one — Newspapers & Media closes on the town's print record with the documented absence of a Walkerton-published newspaper in current directories, and the digital layer adds no successor seat: the town is covered, from South Bend and Plymouth, and publishes no outlet of its own in either medium as of November 2026. Both results print whole, because this section's discipline counts a documented absence as a finding and an aggregator line as a line — no more, and no less.
