How station news is made

What you hear

A short bulletin of headlines, in the language of your station, chosen from national and world sources. Where you have switched on region suggestions, local sources are chosen from the state your request appears to come from; we do not store it. Each bulletin says the date and the time it was put together, names the publishers, and says it was collected and read by an AI. The screen shows the same, with a link to every headline's original page.

How it is made

A program reads the public news feeds that publishers offer for syndication, about every hour. From each feed it keeps only the headline, the link, the publisher's name and the publication time. It does not copy article text. It leaves out items that are old or in the wrong language, and uses an automatic filter to skip items about violence, sexual crime, suicide, accidents and disasters, and polling-day matters. The filter is not perfect, so some of these may still get through. The spoken words are the publisher's headline, apart from removing the outlet's name or a label such as "Video:", with a fixed introduction, a credit line and an AI notice around them. An AI voice reads the result.

Nobody at neo-fm reviews each bulletin before it plays. Headlines can be wrong, out of date, or leave out context. For the full story, open the link on screen and read the publisher's own page. Do not rely on neo-fm for emergencies, health, money or legal decisions.

Sources

Headlines belong to their publishers, who are named in each bulletin. We are not affiliated with them, and they have not endorsed neo-fm. Publishers' feed terms differ. Some limit use of their feeds to non-commercial readers, and we may use a feed only while the publisher allows it. If a publisher objects we remove the feed.
