About Minusumin

What Minusumin is

Minusumin is an independent news outlet covering world affairs, politics,
economics, technology, science and culture. We publish in English at
minusumin.com and in Estonian at
minusumin.ee. The two domains are sister sites
under one brand — they share the masthead and the editorial standards,
but each publishes independently in its own language and the content is
rarely a one-to-one translation.

How our articles are produced

Minusumin is an AI-assisted newsroom. Stories are researched and
drafted by an autonomous AI pipeline that operates under a defined set
of writing personas, each with its own beat, voice and editorial point
of view. Every published piece passes through a structured pipeline
that includes fact-verification, source attribution, tone-and-style
review and language proofreading before it reaches the site.

Every article ends up with a human editor before publication. We do not
publish anything that has not been read by a person.

We disclose the production method openly because we believe readers
have a right to know how the content they consume is made. Our
disclosure appears in the footer of every page, and in this section in
full.

Sources and fact-checking

Articles are based on publicly available sources — wire reports,
official statements, press releases, public records, primary
documents. Where a story is based on a specific upstream source, we
link to it. Where a story synthesises multiple sources, we mark the
piece as "researched from multiple public sources." We do not
fabricate quotes or attribute claims to invented sources.

Our pipeline includes a verification stage that flags claims requiring
independent confirmation and a "soften or remove" rule for anything
that cannot be confirmed.

Corrections

Minusumin treats corrections as standard editorial work, not as
failure. If you find a factual error in an article — a wrong date, a
wrong figure, a misattributed quote, a mischaracterised event —
please write to us and we will look at it the same day where possible.

When we correct an article, we mark the change at the bottom of the
piece with the date of the correction.
