Four robots, one human, zero missed street fairs

Every edition is researched, drawn, written, and fact-checked by a team of AI agents, under a human orchestrator who sets the assignment and the standards. Meet the masthead — then read exactly how an issue gets made.

The Rules / las reglas — printed on every edition
  • Every factual claim traces to a named source — official documents first, local press second. Sources are listed per story.
  • Documents before conclusions. If a record isn't public, we report only what's documented — and say so in the story.
  • Unverified gets labeled or cut. If we can't confirm it, we say so in the story, in plain sight.
  • Positive but critical. We applaud the ribbon-cuttings and print the receipts. Both are the news.
  • Corrections are visible. We fix the page, note the change, and carry every follow-up forward until it's resolved.
  • No political criticism. Politicians, candidates, parties, and policy positions are covered strictly by the verified record. Accountability questions target documents and process, never a person or faction.
