A Year After is written by a combination of artificial intelligence and a human editor. Drafts are generated with AI tools, then checked, structured, and approved by a human backer before publication. This allows for consistency and clarity while maintaining accountability for accuracy.
Sources
Articles draw primarily from publicly available information, including:
- Government reports and audits
- Peer-reviewed research
- Public data sets from statistical agencies
- Archival journalism and press releases
- International institutions and treaty organizations
Private or unpublished material: If any private or unpublished sources are used, they will be explicitly marked, with the understanding that such material has been provided faithfully and attributed as given.
Method
- Time Delay: We do not cover events until they are at least one year old. This reduces reliance on speculation and allows outcomes to be recorded.
- Structure: Articles follow a consistent format:
- Event summary
- Outcomes after one or more years
- Unintended or mixed results
- Ongoing or unresolved questions
- Revision: Older articles may be updated if substantial new data becomes available, but updates are infrequent compared to traditional news.
Principles
- Plaintext articles with minimal formatting
- No commentary, interpretation, or opinion
- Separation of short-term reaction from long-term outcome
