About Newsift

Newsift is an automated news engine that publishes only what the evidence proves. No human editors choose stories. No algorithms optimize for clicks. Every article is generated from verified claims with full audit trails.

Why We Built This

Traditional news organizations face economic pressures that can distort editorial judgment. Engagement metrics reward sensationalism. Understaffed newsrooms cut corners on verification. Newsift replaces those human bottlenecks with transparent, auditable machine rules.

How It's Different

• Evidence-first: Stories publish only when core claims have primary-document backing or independent confirmation.
• Transparent scoring: The ranking formula, weights, and thresholds are public. No hidden editorial biases.
• Full audit trail: Every article shows which publication criteria were met and how evidence was graded.
• No engagement optimization: Coverage volume is deliberately weighted at only 5% to prevent attention from becoming editorial bias.

Open by Design

Our methodology and scoring formula are published openly. If we make a mistake, the audit trail shows exactly what happened and why.
