About Better Informed World
We publish five news sites, and every article on them links the sources it was written from.
The publications
- Clinical Observer covers health and medicine: clinical research, drug approvals and regulation, biotech companies, hospitals and health systems, public health.
- Venturist covers business for founders and operators: startups, funding rounds and acquisitions, markets and money, management practice, work and hiring.
- Five Nines covers enterprise technology for the people who run and buy it: cloud platforms, security and vulnerabilities, data and AI infrastructure, networking, vendor pricing and procurement, outages and incidents.
- Gadgetry covers consumer technology: phones, headphones and audio, games and consoles, smart home devices, laptops and wearables. Launches, prices, software updates and recalls.
- Sunday Best covers lifestyle: home and living, food and restaurants, travel, style and design, books, film, music and art.
Each site has its own editors' addresses, its own correspondents and its own design. They share one process and one set of standards.
Where the facts come from
An article starts with reporting that is already public: news reports, regulators' notices, company filings, studies and official statements. The desk picks the stories that matter to a site's readers and collects the original reporting along with at least one corroborating source. A reporter then writes a new article from those facts, names each source where it is used, and links every source at the end.
Before an article is published, it is read against its sources and any claim that cannot be found in them is listed. One unsupported claim is enough to stop it. A separate check compares the wording with the sources and blocks anything that repeats a long run of their text. An article that fails is sent back for a rewrite of the sentences involved, gets two chances, and is then discarded.
When we are wrong
We fix the article and add a dated note at the end saying what changed. Each site keeps a corrections page. Write to the corrections address of the publication concerned, listed on the contact page.
Advertising
The sites carry advertising placed by Google, and some Gadgetry and Sunday Best articles earn a commission when a reader buys through a link. Those articles say so above the text. Advertisers have no say in what is written, and we publish no sponsored articles.
