What Wyre is
Wyre News is a wire service. It does not write the stories it carries. It reads a vetted set of trade publications every half hour, sorts what they file onto seven desks, and puts each desk on its own front page in the order the news actually happened.
Every headline on this site belongs to the publication that reported it, and every headline links straight back to that publication. There is no interstitial, no reader view and no reprint. If a story interests you, the click takes you to the newsroom that did the work.
The seven reporting desks
Cyber, AI, Marketing, Government, Housing, Auto and Finance. Each one lives on its own subdomain with its own front page and its own RSS feed, so you can follow all seven or point your reader at exactly the one beat you care about and never see the other six.
These are trade desks, not consumer sections. The test for whether something belongs on a desk is whether it changes what a person working that beat does next week. Consumer gadget reviews, for instance, are routed nowhere.
The opinion desk
Wyre OpEd is the eighth subdomain and the one exception to everything above. The seven reporting desks carry other people's headlines and send every click away. OpEd carries Wyre's own side of the argument: essays written by Floof Digital, published here in full, at length, with a name attached.
It is kept on its own subdomain and labelled opinion because the distinction matters. Nothing on the seven reporting desks is written here, and nothing on OpEd is reporting. Essays also appear in Floof Thoughts, the sister publication where they originate, and each one credits and links back to it.
How a story gets here
The selection is automated and the rules behind it are editorial. Those rules are the product, so they are worth stating plainly.
- Vetted sources only. Feeds are added to a desk by hand after review. Nothing reaches a desk because it was popular or because it matched a keyword.
- Links go direct. Aggregator redirects are dropped rather than followed. A headline that cannot be traced to the publisher's own URL does not run.
- Deduplicated across sources. One story filed by four outlets appears once.
- Capped per desk, never globally. A high-volume desk is not allowed to crowd out a slow one. Each desk is ranked and cut on its own.
- Paywalls are flagged before the click. A story behind a subscription wall carries a red PAYWALL stamp on the page and in the feed. Wyre would rather tell you first than waste the click.
- Newest first, always. There is no engagement ranking and no personalization. Two readers loading the same desk in the same second see the same page.
What Wyre does not do
On the seven reporting desks it does not republish article text, and it does not summarize stories in place of reading them. The only full text published anywhere on this site is Wyre's own opinion, on the OpEd desk, which is written here rather than gathered.
It does not accept payment for placement on a desk, and no publisher can buy its way into the rotation. It requires no account, and there is nothing to sign up for except the RSS feeds, which are free and unauthenticated.
Who runs it
