Publications we check

Editors can also select verified quotations from original articles or individual public X posts. Every quote links to its own source. X profiles are not scraped automatically.

A clear trail back to the source

Feeds refresh on visits, with a shared five-minute interval between publisher checks. This page checks for updates while open and when you return. The homepage offers new stories without moving your reading position. The news feed is for open articles and public episodes. For publishers with subscriptions, a story is included only when its public article metadata or publisher access markers confirm free access; paid and unverified articles are filtered out. Access checks expire after 24 hours. Publisher pages can change between checks. Directory links may include subscription publications. The selected headline mix limits repeat appearances by a publisher and groups closely related coverage into one story with expandable source links. Grouping is conservative and headline-based; distinct developments can remain separate. Choose Latest for chronological coverage. Quote boxes are a dated editorial selection; use the arrows to browse them.

Public X posts can be linked or embedded. A custom, automatically collected X feed needs an authorized X API connection; it is not active in this edition.
