Where the information comes from, how we check it, and what we do not do.
01 — How a story is made
Six steps, every hour
Check
“Alatau” is also a district of Almaty, a mountain range, an electricity company and a bank. Every item is checked: is it the new city?
Group
The same news appears in many outlets. It becomes one story with every source listed below it.
Write
Our own summary in German and English, translated into Russian, written with a language model on our own computer. Names, figures and dates only when they stand in a source.
Release
Milestones and figures on law or tax that rest on a single press source are read by a person before they appear.
Publish
Pages, feeds and sitemaps are updated. Corrections are noted on the page with their date.
