The source list behind WeSearch.

WeSearch is, fundamentally, a list of feeds. The list is the editorial position. Pulling from one publisher's wire would be a press service; pulling from one ideological camp's papers would be a partisan reader; what WeSearch tries to do is pull from 700+ editorial sources spanning the political spectrum, the geographic spread, and the topical depth of contemporary journalism, and present them in chronological, deduplicated order without an algorithm in the middle.

Every source has a stable id ("nyt-home", "verge", "r-localllama"), a category, a region, and a canonical feed URL. Sources get added when they consistently publish substantive original reporting, and removed when they don't. Adds and removes are recorded in a public changelog. You can browse the entire catalog by category or by source.

How sources get added

We add sources when readers ask, when an underrepresented region or beat needs coverage, or when a publisher fixes a feed that was previously broken. The bar is editorial: a source needs to publish original reporting, not republish someone else's wire. We try to balance ideological spread within categories — adding a left-leaning analysis source nudges us to find a right-leaning one, and vice versa, so the category page doesn't quietly drift.

We remove sources when they go dormant (no posts in 60 days), when they break their feed and don't fix it, when they begin publishing AI-generated articles without disclosure, or when they get caught fabricating reporting. Removals are logged.

How to suggest a source

Send the source's name, the canonical RSS or Atom URL, the country, and a one-line note on what makes it worth reading to /support. We'll review within a working day. We can't add every suggestion, but every suggestion is read by a human.
