How the radar rates
  • How much it changes for you.
  • How many independent sources report it, and in how many languages.
  • Whether an official source confirms it, or several outlets.
  • Whether it can be told in one sentence.
  • How fresh it is: the value drops hour by hour.

The number sorts, it does not decide. Whether we may show footage and whether a topic just ran, the newsroom checks separately.

What is NEWsLoot?

A small newsroom from Austria covering AI, finance, tech and gaming. Every story comes short as a reel on YouTube and TikTok and in full as an article here, in German and English.

How is it checked?

The radar collects and compares the sources, and numbers and quotes are checked against them. What cannot be backed up is labelled a rumour or left out.

What is the radar, and what does the number mean?

The radar is our program that scans the four sections several times a day and rates every story from 0 to 100: impact, independent sources, confirmation, how well it tells and freshness. The higher, the more weight the story carries today; without new sources it drops again. The number orders the list, the newsroom makes the pick.
