Standards

SnoozePaper is built around constraint rather than discretion. By design, we apply strict rules to what is included, what is excluded and how each entry is written. This structure reduces interpretive pressure and gives readers a clear record of events.

What We Include

• Who was involved
• What happened
• When it happened
• Where it happened
• The source of the information
• The date the item was logged

What We Exclude

• No opinion pieces or commentary
• No predictions or forecasts
• No outrage framing or emotional adjectives
• No algorithmic personalization or engagement bait
• No invented context or speculation
• No reproduction of full articles or copy from paywalled sources
• No obituaries (only death announcements when relevant)
• No weather forecasts (only recorded conditions)

How We Write Entries

Each entry follows a consistent format: headline, date of event, date logged, location, summary, source(s), notes and correction status. Summaries are written in neutral, plain language and attribute facts to their sources. Quotes are shortened only when attribution is clear (e.g., “the report stated”).

Weather and Death Announcements

Weather items report only current or past recorded conditions. No forecasts or speculative climate trends are provided. Death coverage is limited to death announcements when relevant to a news event; we do not publish obituaries.

Corrections

If an entry is found to be materially wrong, it is corrected or removed. Corrections are logged plainly, identify what changed and when, and do not hide the original error unless legally necessary. Accuracy is valued over speed.
