Methodology

How Noozday Works

Noozday is a pipeline, not a newsroom. It does not send reporters out or generate facts. It gathers what reputable outlets have already published, organizes it, and points you to the original reporting. Here is each stage in plain language.

1. Gather from 200+ sources

Noozday continuously pulls from more than 200 reputable news sources via their RSS feeds: major wires and papers, international outlets, business and tech press, and independent and long-form publications. Casting a wide net across sources and countries is what makes it possible to see a story from more than one vantage point instead of just one outlet's framing of it.

2. Cluster same-story coverage

When several outlets cover the same event, Noozday groups those articles into a single "cluster." Instead of showing ten near-identical headlines about one event, Noozday shows one card that makes clear which outlets are covering it, so you can compare angles or pick the source you trust most.

3. Clean up headlines and write summaries, with AI

Noozday uses AI, specifically Claude, for editorial mechanics only: normalizing messy or truncated headlines into clean one-liners, writing short neutral summaries, grouping related coverage into clusters, and classifying topics. AI is not used to invent facts or report original claims. Every factual claim on Noozday traces back to a linked original article, and the AI's job is to make existing reporting easier to scan, not to generate new reporting of its own.

4. Rank for importance, freshness, and variety

Placement on the front page blends three signals: a daily editorial-weight pass, how fresh a story is, and how prominently the sources covering it are featuring it themselves. Variety rules cap how much any single topic, person, or country can dominate the page, and a geographic-diversity floor guarantees a minimum share of international stories so the feed does not default to US-only news. An "under-reported" signal also lifts significant stories that major outlets are not carrying, so they are not buried simply because fewer sources picked them up.

5. Link out to the original reporting

Every story on Noozday links to the original publisher. Noozday does not republish full articles or claim another outlet's reporting as its own; it summarizes and points you to the source, and reading the full story always means visiting the publisher directly.
