Our sources

How we use a source

• Open data: official data turned into short reports with fixed templates, keeping the publisher's values unchanged and crediting it.
• Open licence: published under an open licence; we summarise it and credit it.
• Facts: we take the facts it reports and write about them in our own words; its wording never appears on our site.
• Link only: we link to its reports and use their headlines only to recognise reports of the same event. No AI ever reads them.

We never fetch from sites behind a paywall, we honour every site's robots.txt and opt-outs from text and data mining, and we never show a source's images or logos.
