About Latest & Greatest

A small UK news page with one job: find the story most worth your time, and tell it quickly and straight.

How a story gets here

Several times a day we go through fresh reporting from dozens of outlets, including the BBC, Sky News, the Guardian, specialist tech and science sites, and what people across the UK are searching for. One story is chosen. It is then researched against other coverage, written up in about a hundred words, and posted to our Facebook Page and to this site.

Where AI comes in

We use AI tools to read the feeds, research each story and write the posts, and a person can review, edit or pull anything. Automated checks flag any figure that isn't in the reporting a post is based on. The pictures on our cards are AI-generated illustrations, always labelled as such, and not used for breaking news.

Credit where it's due

We don't do original reporting. Every post links to the outlet that did the work, and we'd encourage you to read the full story there.

Breaking news

For major events and serious live incidents in the UK we post as soon as the story is confirmed by more than one reputable outlet. Those posts stick to what is confirmed and say plainly what isn't yet known.
