Public source material is monitored for relevant technology, market, policy and product signals.
Sources and attribution
SignalDesk uses reputable public sources to discover technology stories, then publishes original briefings with attribution and links to the original material.
Source material is treated as research input, not copy to reproduce. Each published briefing should add clear context, practical relevance and a reason the item matters to technology readers.
Stories are reviewed for source quality, relevance, duplication and suitability before publication. The goal is focused business technology coverage, not broad aggregation.
Review
Potential stories are checked for relevance, source strength, duplication and reader value before publication.
Brief
Published stories add original context: buyer impact, market signal, timeline and practical takeaway.
Lowest-risk starting point for a tech/business news site: vendor blogs, newsroom feeds and product announcement streams where the publisher controls the source.
Useful WordPress reference point, but SignalDesk now runs without WordPress using a custom RSS collector and private approval queue.
Use APIs like NewsAPI, mediastack or GDELT for discovery, trend spotting and metadata. Publish original briefings rather than copied or spun articles.
Suggested source families
- Official company, platform and product sources for primary announcements.
- Established technology publications for market context and independent reporting.
- Public policy, review and industry sources where they add reader value.
Publishing rule
SignalDesk should not publish copied or lightly rewritten versions of other sites' stories. The durable route is original context, attribution, links and a clear reason the story matters.
Editorial focus
SignalDesk is intentionally narrow. Stories should fit the technology, software, infrastructure, startup, policy, market or product-review desks and avoid material that does not serve that reader promise.
