What it does

CSPNews gathers news from around the world, checks every story against independent sources, and publishes short, focused bulletins at set times of the day. Each bulletin has three sections:

	Section	Language
🇹🇷	Turkish news: the day's most important developments	Turkish
🤖	Tech: technology, with a focus on AI	English
🌍	Around the World: major developments everywhere else	English (translated)

Breaking stories don't wait: Hot News reaches the reader between bulletins, within minutes.

Evidence labels

Every story shows how solid it is.

Label	Meaning
Confirmed	Two or more independent sources from different owners, or a primary source, with no contradictions
Reported	Several sources, but they share an owner, a camp or wire copy
Single source	Only one outlet has it
Disputed	Sources contradict each other, or a fact-checker rated it false
Developing	Hot News that is still being confirmed

Getting started

Requires Node 22 and pnpm.

corepack enable
pnpm install
pnpm check   # format, lint, typecheck and tests

Deploying

The website is hosted on Vercel. vercel.json holds the whole setup, so importing the repository needs no settings: Vercel installs with pnpm, builds @cspnews/web and the packages it uses, and serves apps/web/dist. Only main is deployed, and only when a push changes something the site is built from (scripts/vercel-ignore-build.sh); pull requests get no Vercel preview, because CI already builds them. To see a change before merging, run pnpm --filter @cspnews/web dev:sample locally. Bulletins are read at build time from data/bulletins (see apps/web), so publishing a bulletin means committing it to main.
