Checking sources…

“Latest” reflects publisher publication time, not event time or editorial importance. Categories are machine-suggested. Opinion, allegations and breaking claims should be assessed at the original source.

Live newsroom analytics

What the current feed contains

A transparent view of category balance and publisher diversity across the latest approved-feed sample. Counts describe this sample—not the importance of an issue.

Analysing the feed…

Category labels are machine-suggested from publisher metadata and headline language. Editors can correct misclassification; Gateway does not infer truth or importance from frequency.

News in sound and motion

Videos stay embedded with their original publishers. Gateway identifies the channel and adds navigation without re-uploading the report.
