Sources and Methodology

PanoramaDigest publishes news summaries and explanatory coverage drawing on public documents, official statements, research and attributed reporting. A link to a source is not a claim that we conducted its reporting ourselves.

Trace a claim to its evidence

Articles should link directly to the original document or reporting supporting their important claims. Search results and news aggregators can help discover a story but are not evidence for the story itself. A press release establishes what its issuer says; it does not independently confirm every assertion.

Numbers, quotations and uncertainty

Statistics need a named source, a time period and relevant definitions. Calculations must explain their inputs and assumptions. Direct quotations require an identifiable original record. Estimates, allegations, preliminary findings and commentary must be distinguished from established facts. Scientific associations must not be rewritten as proof of causation.

Automation and accountability

Software and AI tools have been used in this site's publishing workflow. They can assist with discovery, drafting and technical checks, but generated text is not a source and automated checks cannot establish factual accuracy. During a September 2026 quality review, a headline-only publishing workflow was disabled and its unverified output withdrawn pending review. The current publishing checks reject aggregator links as primary sources and the generic verification text used by that workflow.

A contributor byline identifies responsibility for an article; it should not be interpreted as proof of an interview, eyewitness reporting or specialist qualification unless the article states and supports that work.

Dates and updates

The publication date records when a story was first published. An older article does not become current news merely because its formatting changes. Material factual corrections should explain what changed rather than silently replacing the record.

Question a source or request a correction

Use the corrections process to identify the article, the disputed claim and supporting evidence. See also our editorial standards.
