Ethics & sourcing

Sourcing

• Every headline and summary links to where it came from: a news outlet, a government agency or an official notice.
• We prefer primary sources: agendas, filings, official notices and data from agencies.
• We do not publish rumors, anonymous social posts or unverified claims as fact.
• Numbers, names, dates and quotes must appear in the linked source.

Respect for other publishers

• We show headlines and short excerpts of a few words at most, and always link back.
• We do not copy articles, photos or paywalled content.

Minors and private people

• We do not name juveniles accused of crimes.
• We do not publish mug-shot galleries.
• Student names appear only when a school or outlet published them for an honor, award or game.

Sponsors

• Sponsors never influence coverage, and they cannot review or approve anything before it is published.
• Paid placements are always labeled Sponsor and look different from news.

AI

AI-assisted summaries are labeled, checked against the source, and correctable. How it works.
