Sources and Methodology

Last updated: August 21, 2026

Source selection

Our workflow prioritizes primary documents, official statements and records, peer-reviewed research, direct reporting, and established news organizations. When a story is developing, later or more authoritative sources take priority over earlier summaries.

Contextual links

Source links should appear near the facts they support so readers can inspect the underlying material. A link is not an endorsement of every claim made by the source.

Automated research and drafting

Time News may use automated tools to discover related coverage, compare sources, prepare drafts, translate text, and format articles. These tools can misread context or repeat source errors. Readers should verify high-stakes information with the cited primary material and qualified professionals.

Updates and corrections

We may update developing stories when material facts change. If you find an error, send the article URL, the disputed statement, and supporting evidence through our Contact page. See our Corrections Policy.
