How we choose breaking stories
Breaking status is reserved for recent, high-impact events. Where several publishers cover the same event, Globe News Alerts groups the coverage and prioritises corroborated reporting rather than treating every headline as a separate incident.
Location confidence matters
News is only mapped precisely when the available reporting supports that location. If geography is uncertain, the product avoids inventing a precise marker.
