Our newsroom
What PressTemps covers, how our stories are made, and how to tell us when we get something wrong.
PressTemps is an independent daily news site covering the United States and the world. We publish through the day, every day, across politics, national news, world affairs, business, technology, science, sport, entertainment and lifestyle.
What we cover
The front page is built around one lead story and a running file of everything else we have published that day, newest first. Every section has its own page, and every story sits at a permanent address under its section — so a link filed today still resolves years from now.
We favour depth over volume. A typical PressTemps story runs well past a thousand words, because the point of the piece is not to tell you that something happened but to explain what it means, who it affects, and what happens next.
How stories are produced
PressTemps is an AI-assisted newsroom. Stories are researched and drafted with the help of automated systems working to a published editorial contract, and they are held to the same factual standards as any other outlet: every claim traces to a source, disputed figures are attributed and ranged rather than flattened, and nothing is published that could not be verified against independent reporting.
We do not invent quotes, people, statistics or events. We do not publish under fabricated journalist names — our bylines are desk names, because a desk is what produced the piece. Where a story rests on a single source, we say so.
Sourcing and links
Every article links out. Wherever a story rests on a document — a bill, a filing, a court opinion, a scientific paper, an agency release, a set of official statistics — we link to that document directly, so you can read the thing itself rather than take our word for it. A short sources list at the foot of most articles names the reporting we relied on.
Occasionally we link to reporting by other outlets, including sites outside our own, when they got somewhere first or covered a related development worth reading. Those are ordinary editorial citations.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we want to know. Write to the desk and tell us what is wrong and how you know — we would far rather correct a story than defend it. Our standards, including how we handle images and attribution, are set out on the editorial standards page.
