ABOUT THE DISPATCH

Fast, visual news without pretending rumors are facts.

The American Dispatch is built for the way people actually discover news now: social feeds, videos, search, group chats and fast-moving internet conversations.

Our editorial approach

We want stories to feel alive. Headlines can be sharp, emotional and conversational, but they cannot promise something the reporting does not support.

Confirmed facts are written as facts. Allegations are attributed. Disputed claims are labeled. Serious crime and safety stories are not treated as entertainment.

Sources

Major stories should link to a primary source, official statement, court document, established news organization or another source readers can inspect themselves.

Images and video

We favor licensed, public-domain or properly attributed photography. Third-party video should generally be embedded from the original publisher or linked to the original source rather than copied and re-uploaded.

Corrections

If a material fact changes or was wrong, the article should be updated promptly and the correction should be clear to readers.
