About CSPNews

What you get

Four bulletins on weekdays, at 07:30, 12:30, 18:30 and 22:30 Istanbul time, and two at weekends, at 07:30 and 18:30. Each has three sections: Türkiye, Tech and AI, and Around the World.

A bulletin has an end. There is no endless feed, no comments and nothing that asks you to keep scrolling. Every story is written in both English and Turkish.

How a story is made

Fixed rules, not a person and not an AI, read the feeds of a set list of news outlets, group the articles that report the same event, and work out the story’s evidence mark from who reported it.

An AI language model then reads those articles and writes the story in both languages. It may use only what the articles say, and it names the outlet behind each claim and quote. A quote given in another language than the speaker used is marked as translated.

No person reads a story before it is published. That is why every story shows its sources, its evidence mark and its timeline: you can check for yourself where each part comes from.

Photos come from the outlets that reported the story and carry their credit.

What the evidence marks mean

The mark is worked out by rules from the outlets behind a story. Outlets with the same owner count as one.

Confirmed

Reported by at least two outlets with different owners, one of them a news agency or an established outlet. A statement from the organisation itself plus one independent outlet also counts. For a story from Türkiye, the outlets must not all stand on the same political side.

Reported

Reported by at least two outlets with different owners, but without a news agency or established outlet among them, or, for a story from Türkiye, only by outlets on one political side.

Single source

Reported by one owner only, however many of its outlets ran it. Treat it with care until others follow.

Disputed

A fact-checking organisation has published on this story. Read what it found.

An outlet that only republished another outlet’s text is listed but never counted.

“Developing” beside a mark means the story is young and outlets are still adding to it. The mark can change, and the timeline shows when it did.

Hot News

Between bulletins, rules watch for a story that several outlets pick up in a short time. No AI is involved, so a Hot News story shows one outlet’s own headline, in its own language, until the next bulletin covers it.

Corrections

When a story turns out to be wrong or changes, it is fixed on its own page and the change is added to the story’s timeline with the time and what changed.

Money and independence

CSPNews is run by one person. It has no adverts, no sponsors and no paid placement, and it does not track readers.
