Proof labels
Short labels keep fast-moving stories honest without slowing the reader down.
Matched by trusted public sources, official records, or multiple reliable outlets.
A named outlet or organisation says it. Outside Brief has not treated it as settled fact.
Circulating online or in social feeds. We explain why it is not confirmed.
Conflicting claims are shown side by side, with no false certainty.
Timelines, explainers and basic facts that help a reader catch up quickly.
When something changes or needs fixing, the correction stays visible.
Worked example
If one outlet reports a strike, the brief names that outlet, states what it reports, and avoids turning responsibility, casualty numbers or motive into fact unless the supplied source evidence confirms them.
The first paragraph says what is reported. The final paragraph says what still needs checking before stronger language can be used.
FAQ
A source-linked briefing site for fast or difficult world stories where confirmed facts, attributed claims and uncertainty need to stay separate.
