Our Attribution Principles
Original reporting is essential to an informed society. NewsIQ acts as a directory to make sense of developing events, guiding users to primary sources. Our integration policies are governed by the following core commitments:
Fair Credit
Every source article is prominently labeled with the publisher's name, logo, and a direct hyperlink to the original source text.
Diversity of Opinion
We deliberately cluster articles from diverse editorial stances so readers can compare framing and identify differences.
Transformative Use
We compile multi-source data to show timelines, factual comparisons, and omissions, adding analytical value rather than copying text.
Crawler Integrity
We crawl under standard web protocols and respect publisher controls, paywalls, and exclusion rules in robots.txt.
Indexed Publishers Registry
Our automated ingestion system references a growing registry of authorized publications. Below are some of the key outlets indexed across categories:
Global & International Agencies
Primary global newswires and international reporting networks.
National & General News
Leading national newspapers and broadcast networks.
Business, Tech & Science
Specialized coverage for economy, market news, and innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does NewsIQ bypass publisher paywalls?
No. NewsIQ respects all publisher paywalls. Our crawler only indexes content that is publicly accessible or made available to search crawlers. We never scrape or bypass subscription-only content, and we actively encourage our readers to subscribe to primary sources to read their full reporting.
How can publishers opt out of being indexed?
We respect publisher autonomy. If you are a publisher and wish to opt out of our news index, or if you want to update your name, logo, or RSS feed URL in our registry, please email us at support@newsiq.online. We also honor standard web crawling protocols and robots.txt directives.
Does NewsIQ reproduce entire articles?
Never. NewsIQ is an analytical directory, not a publisher or content scraper. We use original articles solely to perform automated story clustering, extract timelines, compare reports, and write short summaries. Every analysis includes a prominent name, logo, and hyperlink directing users to the publisher's website for the full story.
What criteria must a news source meet to be indexed?
To maintain high standards, we require sources to have: (1) a transparent editorial board and masthead, (2) clear disclosures of funding and ownership, (3) a verifiable history of factual reporting, and (4) an active, published corrections policy. Self-published blogs, satirical sites, and hyperpartisan outlets are excluded.
