Coranto public information
Source Policy
How Coranto selects, groups, compares and attributes source material without overstating access or independence.
Source categories
Relevant sources may include primary documents, official records, local reporting, national and international reporting, specialist journalism, court and legislative material, regulatory records, public data, open APIs and lawfully accessible OSINT.
Lawful access and rights
Coranto uses public material and licensed APIs or feeds only where access has been obtained. It does not bypass paywalls, authentication or access controls, and does not assume that publicly visible material can be commercially republished.
Common origin
Repeated copies of one wire report, press release or source statement do not become independent corroboration through repetition.
What each source adds
The record distinguishes shared facts, unique source contribution, unresolved disagreement and facts still awaiting confirmation. Links are provided where lawful and useful.
Visual evidence and rights
Images are not a routine sourcing requirement. When a visual is materially useful, Coranto must establish a lawful reuse or display basis and preserve enough provenance to explain what it shows.
Local coverage
Local reporting is discovered across relevant journalism, councils, transport, emergency services, courts, public bodies, businesses, community sources and other lawful evidence. A reader explicitly chooses the locality that defines My Desk; Coranto does not infer device location, and unrelated geographies are not substituted into that edition.
