Editorial standards

Verified sources only

Every story links to a reputable publication, institution, or official announcement. No anonymous claims, no aggregators of aggregators.

Original summaries

We write our own short summaries. We never reproduce full articles — if you want the whole story, follow the source link.

No fake good news

Feel-good claims get the same scrutiny as bad news. If we can't verify it, it doesn't get published.

Corrections in the open

When we get something wrong, we fix it and log the correction below, publicly, with the date.
