The paper
About Norwich.news
A local paper for Norwich that is explicit about being automated. The useful part is the public data. The news digest is a short, credited pointer, not a rewrite mill.
The byline on every summary is Norwich.news desk (automated). There are no fictional reporters. The desk is a pipeline: it fetches public feeds, throws away anything that fails a quality gate, and publishes what remains.
Two kinds of page make up the site. Data pages count things Norwich residents can look up themselves — crime markers, food-hygiene ratings, planning applications, the weather, and Norwich City’s next match. Neighbourhood hubs (NR1 through NR7, plus the Golden Triangle) tie those counts to a place. Digest pages are two or three original sentences about a local report, with the outlet named and linked.
Norwich.news is not the council, the police, the Eastern Daily Press, the Evening News, the BBC, or the football club. Those organisations keep their own sites. This one links to them.
Corrections go to the corrections page or desk@norwich.news. The editorial policy is the rulebook, including the ban on naming people in crime and court stories unless every source is official.
This edition was generated 22 October 2026 at 19:16 with the mock writer. The pipeline is set to run every 20 minutes where the host allows it.
