Newshot About
Newshot collects public feeds automatically and groups the coverage into events. This page explains where the content comes from, how it is grouped, and how to reach us if you would rather not be included.
Where the content comes from
Everything comes from the subscription output of public RSS / Atom feeds; items plus events. The feed list is maintained by the editors and published in full on the Sources page, so anyone can check it.
- We store only the original headline, summary, source link and publish time. Nothing is rewritten.
- For some items we also fetch the body, marked “Full text here”; when only the opening paragraph could be retrieved it is marked “Excerpt only”. The two are always distinguished, and when extraction fails we do not mark the item — we never invent content.
- Images, video and code blocks are not reproduced. To read the full piece, use “Read original” and go to the publisher’s site.
How grouping works
Each item is kept once — duplicates are removed by headline and link. When several outlets cover the same story, the entities in the headlines (company, product, model) are merged into one event. An event’s heat combines the number of independent sources with recency: more sources and newer coverage rank higher, and heat halves every 24 hours.
Categories and tags are assigned automatically from keyword lists maintained by the editors. Tags are a topic index only — they do not pass judgement on a story’s stance.
Where the other languages come from
The site supports multiple languages: each language is its own row of the same story. The original language is marked “Repost”; other languages are machine-translated and shown next to the original, so readers can always compare.
The translation only changes language — nothing is rewritten, cut or added. Where it differs from the original, the original wins.
Copyright and takedowns
This site only summarises and aggregates; copyright belongs to the original authors and publishers. If you own the rights and do not want your content listed, write to [email protected] and we will remove it as soon as we can.
How to get the data
All content is open: unlimited free RSS, a free quota on the JSON API, and paid tiers with custom feeds and the trending briefing. See API.
