NewsQuoted publishes one kind of thing: a short, verbatim quote by a named public figure, attributed to that figure and linked to the primary news report it came from. These standards describe exactly how a quote gets here and how we handle errors.

Sourcing

Quotes are surfaced from worldwide news coverage monitored in near-real-time via the open GDELT Project, then traced to the original article. We never publish a quote we cannot link to a primary source, and every quote page links out to that source.

Verification — the two-check rule

A quote is published only when both hold: (1) the wording is a literal, character-for-character substring of the source article, and (2) the sentence attributing it actually names the speaker. If we cannot confirm who said it, we discard it rather than guess. We track named individuals only — never spokespeople, accounts, or organisations — so every quote is that person's own words.

Independence & AI disclosure

We have no advertisers or sponsors influencing what is published. The site is built and run by an independent operator. Selection and verification are automated; where an optional plain-language summary of the surrounding news appears, it is clearly labelled as an AI-written summary and is never presented as a quote.

Corrections & takedowns

If a quote here is misattributed, missing context, or you hold affected rights, email [email protected] with the link. We review correction and takedown requests promptly and remove or fix anything we cannot stand behind. Faithful attribution is the entire point of this project.
