How 4Spokane News works

4Spokane News is an automated news brief for Spokane, WA. Software reads local news outlets, government notices, and weather alerts. It picks the stories most useful to people who live here.

Each brief is written by AI in its own words, from the headline and summary the outlet publishes. Every brief links to the original reporting. If you want the full story, read the source. The reporters there did the work.

Before a brief publishes, automated checks confirm it copies no phrasing from the source and adds no numbers the source does not contain. We do not cover stories that name private people accused of crimes.
