Comlumen by Stacklumen Independent news.
Checked before it runs.
Comlumen is an independent news agency. Every story is checked before it runs, every correction is published where you can see it, and every byline is a person you can look up. Free to read, with your Stacklumen account for the rest.
How a story runs. Nothing reaches a reader unchecked.
Reporters write, editors review and publish, and every step is recorded in the newsroom’s own log, from the first draft to the last correction.
-
Written
A reporter writes the story, saved as they go. It cannot go to review without a headline, a body, a section and a byline.
-
Reviewed
An editor reads it, edits it, and approves it or sends it back. A lead picture, when there is one, needs its description and its credit.
-
Published
Published now, or scheduled: an embargoed story runs when its time comes, and not a minute before.
-
Corrected
A mistake is corrected on the story, dated, where the reader meets it, and listed on the public corrections page.
Every correction Comlumen has published, with the story it corrects.
The standards. On every page.
What a reader can count on, story by story.
Labelled
Opinion and analysis are labelled as what they are, wherever a story appears.
Corrected in the open
Corrections are dated and public. A published fact is never quietly edited.
People, by name
Every byline links to the writer’s page: their role, their biography and what they have written.
For readers. One account, no paywall.
Every story is free to read without signing in. Your Stacklumen account keeps what you save and follow, and belongs to you.
