News Source & Licensing Policy

1. Source Ingestion Hierarchy

TheNews100 ingests news information strictly following this priority order:

1. Primary & Official Sources: Government notices, regulatory filings, institutional research, court orders, emergency bulletins, and corporate press wires.
2. Publisher Feeds: Authorized RSS/Atom syndication feeds that permit summary usage with canonical attribution.
3. Scientific Journals: Peer-reviewed research publications and university press releases with citation links.

2. Respect for Copyright and Rate Limits

We strictly enforce polite crawling standards:

• We do not bypass paywalls, subscription gates, or CAPTCHAs.
• We adhere to all source-specific rate limits and polling intervals.
• We preserve explicit source attribution and canonical source URLs on all published stories.

3. Publisher Opt-Out

Publishers wishing to update their attribution preferences or request exclusion from our source registry may email [email protected]. Requests are honored within 24 business hours.
