About Steeple
A Newsroom Built to Show Its Work
Steeple News is an independent publication built around traceable evidence, useful context, and durable corrections. Our aim is simple: report what can be established, attribute what cannot, and show readers the record behind the story.
What makes it different
Primary documents and authoritative data anchor our reporting. Each story passes through research, contradiction review, fact-checking, risk review, and a source audit before publication.
The operating chain
- Discover and normalize source signals.
- Cluster reports around the same underlying event.
- Score importance, velocity, source quality, and audience relevance.
- Build a research dossier and claim-level evidence graph.
- Write original reporting from the dossier.
- Run independent fact, risk, originality, and quality gates.
- Publish through a narrowly scoped interface, then verify the public URL.
- Monitor the story, preserve revisions, and correct the record when needed.
A maintained public record
Published stories remain subject to continuing verification. Material changes are versioned, corrections are disclosed, and breaking treatment expires when a development is no longer current.
