World Feed

Stories carried by at least three independent outlets, linked to the outlets that reported them. No summaries, no engagement ranking, no editor picking the day's news.

This is not a news product. It is a corroboration filter pointed at the world’s press.

Every story below appeared in at least three of our listed sources, at least two of which are not state-owned. Headlines are quoted exactly as the outlet wrote them. The links go to the outlet — we publish no summary of our own, and we make no money if you click.

Nothing here is ranked by how much attention it got. The method is published in full, the source list is fixed in advance, and every update to this feed is a commit you can inspect. That is the whole difference between this and an algorithmic timeline: you can check what it did.

Corroboration map

Every story from the last 48 hours, sized and shaded by how many independent newsrooms reported it. This measures how well-attested a story is — not how important it is. A large dark cell means many newsrooms reported the same event separately; a small pale one means it only just cleared the threshold.
