About Veramundi

Veramundi shows headlines from newspapers in several countries, grouped into stories, by region, topic, leader and country, each linking to its newspaper, and measures the tone of the news with a public, sealed method. Separately from the news, it also shows leaders' approval polls, party voting intention polls, a political map of the world, the make-up of the Portuguese Government (including past governments since 1976 and the later careers of former ministers), the «Form your government» simulator, election pages with the official results, attendance, speeches and votes in the Portuguese Parliament, the «Defence and security» and «Economy and Markets» sections and «Analysis», with what commentators and analysts say, and the Opinion column, with signed pieces by students and guests that do not bind Veramundi. Its specialty is politics and defence; we do not cover sport, celebrities or video games. Besides the World, there are Portugal, Brazil and United States editions, with the same rules and each country's news. The tone values stay closed until the end of the first analysis period, on 7 December 2026.

News

We only show the headline of each story and a link to the newspaper that published it; never the article text. Headlines belong to their newspapers. If you are responsible for a newspaper and want a headline removed, please write to the contact above.

Some texts are written automatically with the help of artificial intelligence: the story and regional summaries, the «In brief» on leader and country pages, the «Compare the papers» and, in «Analysis», the weekly summary of what each commentator said and how their readings compare. They are based on the headlines only (the background in the «Compare the papers» also on Wikipedia; the «Analysis» summary on the headlines and the start of the descriptions of the pieces), with the source of each sentence and a transparency notice in the footer. When a story only has headlines in another language, the headline shown is translated with the help of AI and the original is always visible («Original in Spanish: …»); the Wikipedia events on /sondagens are translated the same way, and the leaders' quotes in the «Defence» block were translated with the help of AI and reviewed, with the original shown. The rules are in Accuracy and corrections. None of this goes into the tone measure, and no visitor data is sent to produce these texts.

Story grouping, order, topics and the «Breaking news» strip follow fixed, public rules, with no case-by-case choices. Sports news never rises to the top story or to «Breaking news»; celebrity and video game news only does when it is about politics. An AI model that only classifies (Jev, by TypeSafe AI) gives a second opinion on what is sport or celebrity news, on what is Brazilian and American politics, on each story's topic and on what is defence or economy news, and says whether two headlines close to the grouping threshold report the same event; it receives only the headline, and the fixed rules remain the basis (Method).

Get the day's stories

The stories of the last 24 hours are in an RSS feed (in Portuguese), with each newspaper's headline. You can read it in an RSS app such as Feedly, or get it by email through an RSS-to-email service. Veramundi does not collect email addresses.
