About this site
Five things each country is actually focused on, every week.
How a week is built
A fixed registry of national news sources is read several times every weekday. Only headlines and opening paragraphs are stored, never full article texts. Coverage is grouped into topics statistically, scored on how much of the national press carried it, how broadly it spans the political spectrum, and whether it is growing against the previous four weeks.
Every weekday evening a language model reviews the week so far against a written rubric. It may open a new slot, add a dated update to a story already published this week (a new development, a reaction, a new interpretation, or a correction), or move a story whose importance has faded to “Also this week”. Each report and update is drafted strictly from the retrieved text. Every claim must map to at least one cited source, and anything that fails that check is discarded rather than published. Contested claims are attributed to the outlet that made them.
What this is not
It is not reporting. Nothing here is independently verified, no one is contacted for comment, and no judgement is made about which account of a disputed event is correct. It is a structured summary of what a country’s press covered, with the evidence attached so you can check it.
Written by an automated pipeline from cited reporting. Not edited by a human before publication.
Source selection and bias
Every source carries a reviewed tag for its relationship to power (state, pro-government, oppositional, centrist, business, wire) and its position on the left-right spectrum. Those tags are shown next to each citation, and a contested topic must draw on more than one camp before it can be published. Balance is not claimed; the composition is shown so you can judge it.
Translation
Reports are written and verified in English, then translated through a reviewed glossary of politically loaded terms and proper nouns. Where a translation is missing, the English text is shown with a notice rather than substituting an unreviewed one. Glossary version 2026-10-c.
Corrections
If a report misstates something, cites a source that does not support it, or mislabels an outlet, it should be corrected. Corrections are applied to the published week and noted rather than silently rewritten.
