Our Story

Built to cut through the noise, not add to it.

Sprout All News was born from one frustration — the internet is full of news, but very little of it is worth your time. We built a platform that curates, verifies and delivers only what matters.

Mission

Truth. Clarity. Context.

Every morning, millions of Indians wake up to an avalanche of headlines. Most are clickbait. Many are unverified. Few offer real context. Sprout All News exists to change that — one verified briefing at a time.

We deploy our proprietary VeriFact™ pipeline — a three-stage AI verification engine — to surface, fact-check and rewrite every story before it reaches you. Stories that don't clear a trust threshold of 40/100 are never published.

Our India-first editorial lens ensures global stories are always contextualised for Indian readers, businesses and policymakers.

VeriFact™ Verified

A 3-stage AI pipeline gathers, cross-checks and rewrites every story. Only stories above our trust threshold are published.

India-First Lens

Every global story is contextualised for Indian readers, businesses and policymakers — not just translated from Western media.

How VeriFact™ Works

VeriFact™ is Sprout All News's three-stage editorial verification framework, applied to every story before publication. Transparency in our process is a core editorial commitment.

Stage 1 · Source Verification

Every story is sourced exclusively from credentialed publications — Reuters, AP, BBC, The Hindu, Economic Times, Bloomberg, NDTV, Mint, and FT. Anonymous or unverified sources are rejected at this stage.

Stage 2 · Cross-Reference Check

Claims are cross-referenced across multiple independent source articles. Stories that cannot be confirmed by at least two independent sources are held and not published until corroboration is available.

Stage 3 · Editorial Review

The editorial team applies a final review — checking for factual accuracy, context, and India-relevance before publication. Each story carries a TrustScore (internal) and an editor's note summarising what was verified.

Corrections policy: Errors that pass our pipeline are corrected within 24 hours. Corrections are noted inline on the published story. Contact editorial@sproutallnews.com to flag any factual concern.

What VeriFact™ does not claim: VeriFact™ is a proprietary internal editorial pipeline, not a third-party fact-checking certification or accreditation. The ™ symbol denotes it as our own trademarked process name. Stories reflect the best available reporting at time of publication; breaking news may be updated as facts develop. VeriFact™ is not affiliated with IFCN, Poynter, or any external verification body.

Our Values

What we stand for.

Editorial Independence

No advertisers influence our editorial decisions. Our news selection and framing are driven purely by our editorial standards — not by who pays us.

Radical Transparency

Every story shows its source publications, trust score, and any flagged claims. We show our work, so you can judge for yourself.

AI + Human Partnership

AI handles curation, cross-checking and first drafts. Human editors apply judgement, context and the final editorial voice.

Accessible by Design

Screen-reader-friendly, keyboard-navigable, and optimised for slow connections — because good journalism should reach everyone.

Privacy First

We collect only what we need. No data is sold. No tracking without consent. Our readers are our readers — not our product.
