Sources and attribution

This publication publishes brief, AI-assisted summaries of reporting from named local and regional news outlets. Every summary names the outlet whose reporting it is based on and links out to that reporting — directly to the outlet where our source feed supplies a direct link, and by way of the syndication feed the item reached us through (such as Google News) where it does not. We do not employ staff reporters. Where a summary is based on a specific journalist’s reporting, we credit that journalist and their outlet as the source — those journalists do not work for, contribute to, or review content for this publication.

For how we select, attribute, and correct stories, see our editorial standards and corrections pages.
