Talk With Tech exists to explain technology news quickly and clearly for everyday readers in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. This page explains how our stories are made, what standards they must meet, and what we do when we get something wrong.
How our stories are made
We are open about our process. Talk With Tech uses software to watch hundreds of news sources, official company newsrooms, government statements, research announcements and verified public accounts around the clock. When a story is confirmed by reliable sources, AI writing tools help us prepare an article in our own words, which is then run through automated quality checks before it is published.
Those checks are strict. A story is rejected and never published if it:
- copies wording from another publication, or reuses another outlet’s headline;
- contains numbers, prices, dates or quotes that do not appear in the source material;
- repeats a story we have already covered;
- is too thin to be useful, or is rumor presented as fact.
Sources and accuracy
We base stories on established news organizations, official statements, published research and verified accounts, and we prefer stories confirmed by more than one source. When something is not yet confirmed, such as a leak or a report from a single outlet, we say so plainly in the article. We do not invent quotes, and when we quote someone we say who said it.
Updates to developing stories
Tech news moves fast. When important new facts emerge after publication, we add a clearly marked, time-stamped update to the original article instead of quietly rewriting it.
Images
We use photos that we are permitted to use, such as images released by companies for the press, freely licensed photos (credited with the photographer and license), and illustrations created for the story. Illustrations are not photographs of real events, and we do not use them to depict real people.
Corrections
If we make a mistake, we fix it and note the correction on the article. Read our corrections policy to learn how to report an error.
Independence
No company pays us for coverage, and advertisers have no say over what we write. If we ever publish sponsored content or use affiliate links, it will be clearly labelled.
