Editorial approach

Washington headlines with a clear path back to the source.

Selection

Hill411 checks approved publisher feeds regularly. Freshness, Washington relevance, duplicate filtering and source limits select the rolling edition. Periodic AI-assisted editorial passes refine the lead and ordering; an owner can pin a headline or pause publication. New editions are saved only when the selection or referenced source metadata changes.

Attribution

Headline links open the original publisher. Automatic editions retain the publisher’s original headline and timestamp. Earlier manually selected editions may contain shortened display headlines. Hill411 does not claim authorship of linked reporting or imply publisher endorsement.

Dates and coverage

A source publication date, our observation time and an edition publication time mean different things. They are kept separately. A feed timestamp without a timezone is shown as a date, without guessing the hour.

History

Headline metadata changes and prior editions are retained from the first observation onward. Original official documents, readable derivatives and public metadata are separate records. An observed headline change does not establish that an article body changed.

Corrections

Source updates are recorded as new metadata versions. Editorial corrections require a revised edition; the earlier edition remains available. Send a correction for review.

Reporting and signals

Reporting, opinion and official records retain their source identity. Public discussion will be labeled as a signal if added; it is not currently part of this feed.
