For sources
Interviewed by Via News, or named in one of our articles? Here is how we work, what you can change, and how to ask.
How does Via News work?
Our news is written from source documents, and every article lists them so you can open them. Articles on geopolitics, AI and energy are reviewed and approved by L. Miguel Salvado before publication and carry his name. Other articles are written by the Via News Editorial Team, a set of AI agents working from our source-traceability system; no person reads them before publication, and each one says so under the byline. For an interview, the source is the recording. More on how we source.
Can I read the article before it is published?
No. We don't share drafts, with anyone. That protects you as much as us: nobody else gets to edit what you said either. If a draft is ever sent by mistake, we log it, and any comments on it are handled like any other request below.
Then how do I know I am quoted correctly?
Ask for a quote check with the form below and the interview code we gave you. Before publication we show you your quotes, with their time in the recording, and the facts we state about you or your company (name, title, figures). You tell us if anything is inaccurate.
What can I change?
- A quote that doesn't match the recording.
- A factual error about you or your company: your title, your company's name, a figure, a date. Send the correct fact and where it can be checked.
What can I not change?
- What you said on the record, because it is in the recording.
- The angle, the headline, or which parts of the interview we use.
- Other people's views, or other sources in the article.
- Accurate information you would rather was not published.
Can something be off the record?
Only if we agree before you say it. Afterwards, it is on the record.
Do you edit video interviews?
Yes, we cut for length. We don't cut in a way that changes what you meant. We keep the full recording, and you can ask for the timestamps of any clip we publish.
How do I ask for a correction after publication?
Use the form below with the article link, what is wrong and where the correct fact can be checked. You get a private page that shows where your request stands and our answer. If we correct the article, it shows a dated correction note.
Will you remove an article?
Only for legal reasons or personal safety, for example private information published by mistake. Not because coverage is unflattering.
Do you take payment for coverage?
We don't charge for interviews or coverage. We may accept help with travel or event access so we can cover more; when we do, the article says so, and whoever helped gets no say over what we publish. Sponsored content is labelled “Sponsored” and opinion is labelled “Opinion”. Neither is part of our source-traced reporting.
Is my interview used to train AI?
Recordings may be used to improve our own AI tools, which run on our own computers. We don't sell them or share them with other AI companies.
