How Daily News works

Where the stories come from

Each day we search the web for the stories that multiple independent outlets are covering. A story that several unrelated newsrooms report on the same day is treated as a hot topic. We aim to publish 2 stories a day across world news, India, business, technology, sports, entertainment, science and clearly-labelled unconfirmed reports.

How the writing works

We do not republish other people's articles. Instead, a local language model (llama3.2:latest) first reads the coverage and reduces it to a list of bare facts. It then writes our article from that fact list alone, without access to the original wording. Facts are not copyrightable; the phrasing used to express them is, so we never carry it over.

Every draft is measured against the sources it came from. If more than 0.4 of its five-word sequences match a source, or if any verbatim run is too long, the draft is thrown away and rewritten from scratch. Direct quotations are converted into indirect speech.

What we will not publish

• Sexual, adult or graphic content. This is a general-audience site.
• Any claim that a named person or company committed a crime or misconduct, unless the article attributes the claim to a court, regulator, investigation or official statement. Unattributed accusations are blocked automatically and never reach the site.
• Rumours presented as fact. Unconfirmed reports are labelled as such, need corroboration from more than one outlet, and are hedged throughout.
• Hate speech, harassment or demeaning generalisations about any group.
• Private contact details, ID numbers or payment information.
• Dangerous instructions, or medical and financial advice stated as certainty.

Human oversight

Automated checks decide what is safe enough to publish automatically. Anything that trips a check is held in a review queue for a human editor rather than being published. Rejected drafts are kept internally so decisions can be audited.

Corrections

We summarise other people's reporting, so errors can propagate. If you believe a story is wrong, unfair, or that we have overstepped on your copyright, tell us and we will correct or remove it.
