Interesting idea - though I feel like I’d need to know more about the algorithm, ml inputs, limitations etc, etc before I could trust what I was seeing was well rounded news.

I think the more transparent, even talking about current limitations, will gain you more trust with users

We've had plans to write some blog posts about it, but there are ultimately only so many hours in the day. There is a very high level explainer at https://knowherenews.com/how but in broad strokes, our backend incorporates many discrete pieces which: monitor for breaking world events, structure metadata from news reports, search for corroboration, identify spin-relevant information, and ultimately, draft reports for a human editor to proof and possibly publish. We focus on American politics for now rather than a larger slice of world events.
