How the Top 10 is made

Every few hours, Tenwire reads more than forty news sources across regions and languages, including wire services, public broadcasters and official sites.

Each story needs at least two independent news organizations, and its key facts are checked against the text of the articles, not only headlines. Statements and plans are labeled as what someone said, not as facts.

Stories are ranked by importance and reach, then written in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese. AI does the reading and drafting under these rules; anything that fails a check is left out rather than filled in.
