Why it matters
Feed readers and internal dashboards use this value as the primary label. Missing or vague titles reduce credibility and make debugging harder.
How FeedInspector checks it
FeedInspector marks feed.title as present when a non empty title exists and includes a sanitized example in the matrix.
Common problems and fixes
Problem: Title is blank or repeated generic text like News Feed.
Fix: Use a stable, specific source name with optional edition context.
Problem: Dynamic title changes break source matching.
Fix: Keep feed title stable and move campaign text to description.
