Frequently asked
Why subscribe instead of just setting up Google Alerts?
Google Alerts surface anything that mentions a keyword — most of it is press release noise, syndicated AP copy, or SEO content with no primary source. We filter for events with a citable public source and explain the practice-level implication. That triage is the entire product.
Is this AI-written?
Honest answer: drafts are sometimes assisted by AI for summarization of long PDFs (CMS rules run hundreds of pages). Every item is reviewed, edited, and signed off by a human editor before publication. No autopublish, no AI-only items, no invented citations.
How do I submit a tip?
Email contact@theranews.net. Confidential tips are welcomed; we will not publish your name without explicit permission, and we will not publish at all if we cannot independently corroborate from a public source.
Is there an RSS feed?
Yes. The /feed.xml endpoint serves the same items as the weekly email, updated as they are tracked. Atom and JSON Feed formats are also available at /feed.atom and /feed.json.
Do you accept sponsorships?
Yes — one sponsored slot per weekly issue, clearly labeled, and never in the news items themselves. Sponsors do not see issue contents before publication and cannot pull or edit coverage. Sponsor list is published at /sponsors.
