The American Desk

The American Desk is an independent digital news publication focused on clear reporting, useful context and visible sourcing.

Our approach

We publish reporting across national news, politics, business, technology, culture and local coverage. Stories move through a newsroom workflow that separates research, drafting, review and publication.

Technology in the newsroom

Automation and artificial intelligence may assist with monitoring public sources, organizing research, comparing documents, transcription and drafting. Technology does not replace editorial responsibility. Published reporting remains subject to our sourcing, review and correction standards.

Transparency

When appropriate, stories identify the public sources used in reporting. Material corrections are disclosed, and opinion is separated from news reporting.
