Frequently asked questions
How NewsDigest works, how stories are organised, and how to control your reading experience.
What is NewsDigest?
NewsDigest is an Irish short-news service. It turns the day’s useful developments into concise, readable briefs organised by desk, county and topic.
How are NewsDigest stories produced?
The newsroom engine discovers eligible source articles, creates an original short summary under strict factual and similarity checks, and publishes or sends it to draft according to the editor’s source settings.
How do county pages work?
Every Irish county has a dedicated archive. Editors can assign counties manually and the engine can match county names from a story when automatic county matching is enabled.
What are topic and tag pages?
Tags connect stories about the same person, place, organisation or subject. Every tag has a public archive page and can be edited through the standard WordPress post editor.
How do saved stories work?
Signed-out readers keep saved stories for the current browser tab. Signed-in readers keep them in their NewsDigest account and can access them across devices.
Do I need an account?
No account is required to read public stories. A free account is useful when you want saved stories to persist across devices.
How can I report a correction?
Use the Contact page and include the story headline or URL. The editorial team can review, correct and update the published brief.
Can I submit a press release or news tip?
Yes. Use Submit Your Article in the footer to send a release, statement, event update or newsroom tip for editorial review.
