About HIT.TV

The news itself has never been better reported. Finding it has never been more irritating. What is happening in the world is scattered across a dozen sites, each with its own layout, its own newsletter pop-up, its own cookie wall and its own app it would like you to download. Following a single story properly can mean opening six tabs. Following the world means giving up. HIT.TV exists to close that gap: one place that watches all of it, and tells you what happened.

Where our news comes from

We read the feeds of established news organisations continuously, across world news, business and markets, technology, crypto and sport. We do not have reporters on the ground, and we do not pretend otherwise — our job is to watch the people who do, and to bring what they publish together quickly and clearly.

That list is the actual set of publications we monitor, not a sample. When we add or drop a source we update this page, because a list of outlets you do not really read is worth less than no list at all. Alongside these we run a social desk that follows verified accounts on X for market-moving posts, which is often where a story first surfaces before any newsroom has published on it.

How a story gets chosen

Not everything published becomes a HIT.TV story. We look for what is genuinely new, what is being reported by more than one organisation, and what a reasonable person would want to know about today. Duplicates of the same event are collapsed into a single story rather than run five times. We deliberately steer away from tragedy and crime coverage that adds nothing but distress, and we cap how much of any single day is given over to markets, so the service stays a picture of the world rather than a ticker.

How our stories are written

Our stories are written by artificial intelligence, and the presenters who read them on our video channel are AI. We would rather you heard that from us, on this page, than worked it out later. Our system reads the underlying reports, writes the story in HIT’s house style, and publishes it under one of our named AI authors — each of whom has a profile page saying exactly that and listing everything published under the name. The presenters on screen are synthetic. They are not real journalists, and no footage of any real person is used to create them.

We use the technology because of what it makes possible, not as a novelty. It lets a small company cover the world continuously in plain English, turn a written story into a watchable one within minutes, and keep the whole service free to read. It is a way of making journalism that already exists easier to get at — not a substitute for the organisations doing the reporting.

Read it, watch it, or listen to it

Every story on HIT.TV can be read in a couple of minutes or watched as a short video bulletin, whichever suits the moment. Our live channel runs continuously for anyone who would rather have the news on in the background than go looking for it, and our archive keeps everything we have published so a story can be followed backwards as well as forwards. If you are cooking, driving, or simply do not want to read another screen of text today, the same story is waiting in a form you can listen to.

Credit where it is due

When a story is based on another organisation’s reporting, we say so and link to the original at the foot of the article. We would genuinely rather send you to the source than have you take our summary as the last word — the reporting is theirs, the work of getting it in front of you quickly is ours. Aggregation only earns its place if it sends traffic back to the people doing the expensive part.

What we do not do

We do not accept payment to publish a story, to cover a company favourably, or to leave something out. Nothing on HIT.TV is investment, legal, medical or tax advice; our markets and crypto coverage is journalism about prices and companies, not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. We do not run paid placements dressed up as news, and where anything on this site is ever sponsored, it will say so on its face.

Accuracy and corrections

Automated writing gets things wrong, and so does every newsroom that has ever existed. What matters is what happens next. If you spot an error, tell us through the contact form — we read everything that comes in. When we correct a story we amend the story itself rather than quietly deleting it, and where the correction is material we say what changed. If a story cannot be stood up, we take it down.
