How we make this

Our process

1. Native-language sources — We start from named outlets worldwide, often in the original language, so Americans can see how people abroad see the news.
2. Draft with AI assistance — Research is drafted with AI assistance to move quickly across many desks.
3. Fact-check and an accountable editor — Every story passes an independent fact-check or our editor’s approval before it runs, and anything flagged red stays out unless it is fixed and re-checked, or the editor approves it. Our editor, William Kohn, sets the rules, decides every story the fact-check flags red, and is accountable for every edition. We educate; we do not tell you what to think.
4. Named sources per item — Every item lists its outlets. We don’t invent facts.
5. Corrections — See something wrong? Email comments@theworlddesk.news.
