Publisher Information, Explained
Every Headlinne story shows where it came from. Learn how publisher information and source tiers help you judge credibility at a glance.

Always know the source
Who reported a story matters as much as what it says. Headlinne shows the publisher behind every article and links to the original, so you always know the source before you decide how much to trust it.
This is a deliberate stance against the anonymized, source-blind way news often spreads on social platforms.
Source tiers
Beyond naming the publisher, Headlinne's analysis categorizes sources by type—for example major established outlets, wire services, and general or blog-style publishers. This tiering helps the system weigh sources appropriately and gives you a sense of what kind of outlet you are reading.
A wire report, a flagship newspaper, and a niche blog are all legitimate in different ways, and knowing which is which sharpens how you read them.
Why source transparency matters
Seeing the publisher helps you:
- Judge credibility before you trust a claim
- Recognize when many outlets are reprinting one wire report
- Notice the leaning or specialty of a source
- Reach the original reporting with one click
Part of a bigger transparency picture
Publisher information works together with Headlinne's bias indicators and its practice of always linking to originals. Together they let you evaluate not just a story's content but its provenance.
