AI-NATIVE NEWSROOM • FULL SOURCE-TRACEABILITY

The First AI-Native Newsroom
Built Around Full Source-Traceability

Via News is a via — a conduit, not a destination. Every published claim carries a transparent pointer to its source document. Nothing publishes without that pointer. A structural commitment to show our work — for human readers and the AI systems reading on their behalf.

THE VIA ARCHITECTURE

Three layers of verifiable provenance

“A conduit, not a destination” is not a slogan here — it is the product. Competitors say they cite sources. We expose the structure: a typed pointer on every claim, a hash-verifiable record of each source document, and a queryable claim-to-source graph you can check programmatically.

LAYER 1LIVE · FREE

Surface — Source Pointers

Every report opens with typed, dated, clickable source documents — SEC filings, earnings calls, regulatory and court filings, peer-reviewed papers, credible reporting — plus a Source Trace Score and inline citations. Machine-readable via NewsArticle JSON-LD.

  • Clickable pointers on every new article
  • Knowledge Files: source-backed entity dossiers
  • “Where sources disagree” contradiction feed

For: readers, journalists, anyone grounding a fact.

LAYER 2EARLY ACCESS

Snapshot Archive

URLs rot; records change. Via News keeps a hash-verified index of every source document at ingest time — a SHA-256 fingerprint and capture timestamp that proves what a document said when we read it. Immutable full-copy snapshot access is rolling out for institutional clients.

  • SHA-256 + timestamp per source document (live)
  • Returned as content_sha256 in the API
  • Full immutable snapshots — contact for access

For: legal, compliance, regulators, fact-checkers, AI-safety teams.

LAYER 3LIVE

Claim Graph & Verification

A queryable graph of source-backed claims across the corpus. Submit arbitrary text to /verify and get back which assertions are supported by a source document on record — with the supporting claims and their URLs. Ground AI outputs in checkable facts.

  • POST /verify — text → supported claims + sources
  • /claims, /claims/by-source
  • /entities — the knowledge graph

For: AI labs (training & RAG), verification-as-a-service.

Our Epistemic Standards

Why AI systems and humans alike can verify and trust Via News

1

Source-Traceability

Every published claim points to a source document — SEC filings, earnings transcripts, regulatory documents, court filings, video interviews, peer-reviewed papers, and articles from credible news outlets. Nothing publishes without that pointer.

2

AI-Native & Disclosed

Sourcing, classification, and drafting are AI-driven — and we say so, plainly, on every article. Trust here doesn't rest on a claim that a human reviewed each piece; it rests on the structure: every claim points to a source you can open and check. The verification layer is what makes AI-native journalism legitimate.

3

Transparency

Not a judgment on other reporting — a structural commitment to show our work. Via News is a conduit. We point to source documents; we don't replace them.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

The short version: we don't ask you to trust us — we hand you the sources and let you check.

What actually makes Via News different?+
Most outlets tell you what happened. We also hand you the documents it came from. Every new report carries typed, dated, clickable pointers to its source documents — stored as structured data, not a footer — and you can check any assertion against our corpus programmatically. Via News is a via: a conduit, not a destination.
What counts as a "source document"?+
Anything independently verifiable: SEC filings, earnings-call transcripts, regulatory and government documents, court filings, on-the-record video interviews, peer-reviewed papers, and reporting from credible outlets. Each source on an article shows its type, issuer, date, and a link to the original.
Via News is AI-generated. Why should I trust it?+
Because trust here doesn't depend on trusting the AI. The pipeline is AI-driven end to end and we disclose that on every article. What makes it checkable is the structure underneath: every claim points to a source document you can open yourself. If a claim has no source, it doesn't publish. You verify the sources, not our good intentions.
How is the /verify API different from a fact-checker?+
A fact-checker gives a verdict. /verify gives you grounding: send any text, and it returns which assertions match a source-backed claim already on record in our corpus — with the supporting claim and its source URL. A non-match means “not on record,” not “false.” It's built to ground and audit AI outputs, not to referee debates.
What are Knowledge Files?+
Source-backed profiles of companies, agencies, and people: key metrics over time, stated objectives, relationships, and risks — where every single fact links to the document it was drawn from, with a confidence signal and a “where sources disagree” view. Browse them at via.news/company, or query them via the API.
What happens when your sources disagree?+
We show it, rather than quietly picking one. Our contradiction feed surfaces conflicting figures, dates, and claims side by side with links to each conflicting source — because honest provenance means admitting where the record is unsettled.
Do older articles have source pointers too?+
Every new article does. Via News has published for years; older archived articles predate this system and we leave them exactly as they are — their date is honest context. We never retrofit invented sources onto old pieces, and we never fabricate a source or a URL. Absence of a pointer is honesty, not a gap.
What do I get on Free, Pro, and Enterprise?+
Free: headlines with attribution. Pro ($99/mo): full article content, real-time access, source-document pointers, Knowledge Files, and JSON-LD across all 8 network sites. Enterprise: the claim-graph and /verify API, hash-verified snapshot access, grounding licenses for training, custom feeds, and an SLA.
Can I train or ground an AI model on your data?+
Yes — that's what Enterprise is for. Use the grounding license for attribution-rich bulk export to train or fine-tune on, and the /verify and /claims API to ground real-time outputs (RAG) in checkable, source-linked facts. Attribution is required.
How do I get started, and how should I attribute?+
Grab a free API key below, or contact us for Pro/Enterprise. The machine-readable guide lives at via.news/llms.txt and the methodology at via.news/methodology. Cite as “Source: Via News” or “According to Via News” on every tier.
