About STTPN
Straight To The Point News (STTPN) helps people understand important events quickly. Each story is a concise, original explanation of what happened and why it matters, followed by the sources it relies on and, where available, links to how other news organizations covered the same event.
How a story is put together
- Original reporting first. STTPN writes its own explanations. We link to other publishers rather than copying their articles, photos or video.
- Visible sources. Every published story lists at least one supporting source that has been checked by a person for that specific story.
- Related Coverage. Many stories include a short, hand-picked list of other outlets' reporting, so you can compare how the event was covered.
- Publication-level context. Outlets in Related Coverage show STTPN's human-approved, publication-level political-leaning label, or “Unrated”. These labels describe a publication's overall tendencies, not a particular article, and they are not a measure of accuracy. See our methodology.
Who runs STTPN
STTPN is an independent, founder-operated publication. The founder is responsible for researching, verifying, writing, publishing and correcting stories, and for approving any publication classification. AI tools may assist with research and drafting, but a person checks key facts, dates, quotations and source context before anything is published, and no AI output is published automatically.
Who we write for
Our first audiences are readers in the United States and Canada. Stories are tagged with their intended audience to help with browsing, but every story is readable from anywhere.
Free to read
STTPN is free. There are no reader accounts, subscriptions or paywalls. If advertising or sponsorship is added in the future, it will be clearly labeled and will never decide what we report, which sources we cite or how publications are classified.
Accuracy and corrections
We aim to be clear about what is confirmed, what is disputed and what is unknown. When we make a material error, we correct it and add a dated note. Read our editorial standards and corrections policy or contact us.
