About Crosswire News

Crosswire News is an independent news aggregator. For each major story, it shows how left-leaning, right-leaning and alternative or independent outlets are covering it, side by side, with a neutral summary of all of them and direct links to every original article. Crosswire News does not do its own reporting; all reporting belongs to the outlets linked on each story.

One story, three angles

Every two minutes Crosswire reads the public news feeds of the outlets below and groups articles that cover the same event.

News, Politics and World: a story appears only when a left-leaning, a right-leaning and an alternative or independent outlet are all covering it. Each side shows up to three articles from different outlets, so you can compare how each one tells it.

Markets, Sports and Pop Culture (which includes movies and TV): stories also show left, right and alternative coverage side by side whenever all three are covering them, and those come first. A big story that only some sides are covering still appears, with two or three article links.

How outlets are labeled

Lane labels are editorial judgments based on each outlet's overall reputation and published media-bias ratings. They describe the outlet, not any single article or reporter. "Alternative" means outlets outside the main left/right cable and newspaper brands: independent, international, investigative, libertarian, antiwar, progressive and conservative-independent newsrooms. Including an outlet is not an endorsement of it.

Summaries and how we use AI

The neutral summary is written by AI (Anthropic's Claude) from the headlines and opening text of every article shown for the story, across all three sides. It starts with what they agree on and notes where they differ. The one-line notes under each side describe how that side's outlets frame the story. A summary is rewritten when enough new coverage arrives. They can contain mistakes. Always open the original articles before relying on a detail.

Every story page is marked with the time Crosswire first published it and the time it was last updated, and every AI-written headline and summary is labeled as AI-written.

Editorial standards

Corrections

If a summary gets a fact wrong, a story groups unrelated articles, or a label seems unfair, email support@crosswirenews.com with the story's headline or link. We review every report, fix confirmed errors as quickly as possible, and the story page's "Updated" time shows when it changed.

Breaking news

Breaking means the newest article in a story is under 45 minutes old.
