Editors may merge/split clusters, correct titles, change classification, override significance, revise perspective labels, replace recommended articles, and publish corrections. Every override is intended to create an audit log in production. Local 7 internal mix target: two conservative-or-neutral, two liberal-or-neutral, two sports-or-entertainment, and one positive local restaurant/business review among high-engagement eligible posts from the past 24 hours.
The seven 7Tribunes stories receiving the most reader reactions on our site. Each Take shows the story, its section rank, and the most-engaged eligible community comment when one is available.
7Tribunes can use your approximate location for local news, sports, crime and weather. Precise coordinates are not required for normal news personalization.
Interests improve relevance, but they do not remove high-significance stories from your edition.

This POC simulates authentication and subscription entitlements. No payment information is collected.
1. Establish the fact spine. Identify confirmed, reported, disputed, unknown and changed information using multiple independent sources.
2. Score reporting quality separately. Reliability considers sourcing, evidence, headline accuracy, transparency, corrections and reporting-versus-opinion separation.
3. Analyze perspective. Framing analysis considers language, emphasis, quoted authorities, contextual differences and ideological positioning. Ratings include confidence.
4. Select credible comparisons. The app never chooses a low-quality article merely to create left/right symmetry.
5. Explain the result. Users can see why a story or article was selected and where uncertainty remains.
Corrections remain visible in the record. A corrected story creates a new Brief version and an audit entry. Republishing a correction does not reset the story’s original Today clock.
Dangerous or materially inaccurate content can be held immediately. Threats, doxxing, instructions for operational harm and repeated-link spam are blocked. Possible targeted harassment is held for review; political disagreement and criticism are allowed.
Publisher links are treated as external destinations. Verified HTTPS source links are green and clickable. Unverified or unsafe destinations appear in red as “URL Issue” and are not clickable.
Editorial decisions are auditable. Brief versions, publication and correction events, editorial holds, source assessments and automated safety actions are recorded without placing protected session tokens or blocked comment text in the public record.
The Impact Score helps 7Tribunes decide which stories deserve the greatest prominence. It measures potential public consequence—not popularity, ideology, or whether a story is favorable to one side.
What does not drive the score: partisan viewpoint, advertiser interest, clicks, outrage, or raw social-media reaction totals. Social Heat can help identify stories worth investigating, but it does not substitute for verified impact.
The Impact Score is an editorial ranking aid. It is not a truth score, political-bias rating, or prediction. Freshness rule: new or materially updated stories from the last 24 hours rank ahead of carryovers. Carryovers fill open section slots by Impact Score and every story has a hard 72-hour limit. The methodology will be refined and documented as 7Tribunes develops.
