Headlines from 80,000+ sources
Clusters coverage from tens of thousands of sources, which makes it the fastest way to see whether a story is one outlet’s scoop or a widely reported event.
Microsoft news aggregation
A smaller aggregation with different source weighting, occasionally surfacing regional outlets Google News ranks lower. Useful as a second spread check.
Global wire-service journalism
A wire service that publishes before most outlets and corrects openly. If Reuters has not reported a major claim, that absence is information.
Factual, non-partisan reporting
Non-partisan wire reporting with a strong US focus and a public corrections log. Good for quotes and official statements.
UK public broadcaster, global
Public broadcaster with global bureaus and a live-page format. Strong on international context, slower on local US stories.
US public radio: news & culture
US public radio with explanatory depth and transcripts. Better for understanding a policy than for breaking news timing.
US cable news network
US cable news with fast live coverage. Verify specific numbers against a wire service before repeating them.
Middle-East-based world news
Detailed coverage of the Middle East and global south, with a different editorial frame from Western wires. Useful for comparing how the same event is described.
News search is a verification tool before it is a reading tool. A claim arrives as a screenshot or a confident paragraph, and the question is not “does this exist” — it is “who reported it first, and does the primary document say the same thing”. Wire services answer that faster than any aggregator’s ranking.
Search the claim as a short sentence, then open Reuters and AP first, a public broadcaster second, and Google News to see how widely it spread and in which direction. Check the publish date twice — recycled stories are the most common form of false news — and if the story is about a document, find the document before you repeat the claim.
Wire services — Reuters and AP publish early and correct openly. Then a public broadcaster for context, then Google News to see how widely the claim has spread.
Check the About page and bylines for real people, look for a physical address and corrections policy, and search an exact sentence in quotes. Identical phrasing across many domains with no shared origin is the tell.
No. Screenshots are trivially edited and lose their URL. Ask for the link, then open the archive if the page has changed. If the link does not exist, the claim is unverified regardless of how convincing the image looks.
Search the headline with the previous year, and look at the publish date on the article itself rather than the social post. Reused imagery can be checked with a reverse image search.
