Where these stories come from

NationsDesk is a desk, not a wire. It reads the public feeds of the newsrooms below, writes its own short brief on what they reported, and links you to their article for the full account.

The rules the desk works to

Only published feed metadata is read. Article bodies are never copied.
Every brief is written fresh; no sentence is lifted from the source.
Nothing is added that the source did not report. Material too thin to write from honestly produces no story at all.
Photography stays with the newsroom that shot it.
Sensitive stories are held for a human check before they appear.
