About Verilumia

Our Mission

News should help people understand the world, not overwhelm them with noise or steer them toward a conclusion. Our mission is to put the information, data and tools readers need in one place: clear accounts of what happened, visible evidence of how coverage differs and direct access to the reporting behind every story.

We want every reader to see what happened, how the story is being framed and why it matters, then reach their own conclusions with confidence.

How a Verilumia Story Is Made

1. We read widely: Every day Verilumia collects reporting from outlets across the political spectrum, for the Global, US, UK and Europe editions.
2. We find the same story: Reports about the same event are grouped together, so you get one story instead of dozens of near-identical headlines.
3. We write one clear account: The key facts are brought into a single, plainly written account, with every source article linked so you can check the reporting yourself.
4. We show what is missing: Each story shows which sides covered it, where reports disagree, what is still unanswered and who actually said what.

Learn how Verilumia works, what our coverage indicators mean and how to report a content issue.

What You See on Every Story

• Coverage mix: See how many left, centre and right outlets reported the story, and a blind-spot note when a side is missing entirely.
• Evidence review: Points several independent outlets agree on, claims that are disputed and questions nobody has answered yet.
• Verified quotes: A direct quote appears only when at least two outlets reported it, and we show who said it and which outlets covered it.
• Source articles: Every outlet is linked, so the original reporting is one tap away. Nothing important is hidden behind our summary.
• Timeline and tone: Follow a story from first report to latest update, and notice when coverage turns critical or emotionally charged.
• Ask about any story: Ask questions about a story and its background. Try it free, with unlimited questions in Verilumia Access.

Our Promises

• No ads, no outrage cycle: Verilumia is funded by readers, not advertisers, so our incentives stay aligned with yours. We are built for understanding, not attention.
• Sources always visible: You can always see where a story came from and read the reporting behind it. We would rather you check us than trust us.
• Plain, neutral language: We write plainly and avoid loaded wording. When outlets use charged language, we show it as an observation about the coverage, not something we adopt.
• Ratings describe leaning, not accuracy: Left, centre and right describe an outlet's general leaning. Centre does not mean unbiased, and a rating says nothing about accuracy. Outlets we cannot place are left unrated.
• Clear about what we check: The evidence review checks how faithfully a story reflects the reporting we read. It does not independently verify the underlying events, and it says so.
• Corrections are welcome: If a story gets something wrong, tell us. Confirmed errors are corrected and updated stories show their latest update time.
