How we report. In the open.

The rules every NextDiff story follows: what we cover, where facts come from, how we check them, how AI is used and how mistakes get fixed. Last updated November 12, 2026.

What we cover

NextDiff covers technology: AI, developer tools, startups, hardware, security and space tech. Every story answers two questions: what changed, and why it matters to the people building things. If nothing changed, we don’t publish.

Sources

  • We go to primary sources first: company announcements, changelogs, research papers, court and regulatory filings, and on-the-record statements. We link them in the story.
  • When a fact comes from another outlet’s reporting, we name and link that outlet.
  • We don’t publish claims from anonymous sources unless a named, credible publication has reported them, and we say so in the story.
  • Images and video are credited to their owner. We don’t present AI-generated images as real photos.

Checking facts

Before a story is published, its names, numbers, dates and quotes are checked against the sources it links. Where facts are still developing, the story says what is confirmed and what isn’t. Analysis and opinion are labelled and kept separate from news.

How we use AI

NextDiff uses AI tools to help research, draft and edit stories and to produce our short videos’ narration. AI output is held to the same standards as everything else on this page: every fact must trace back to a linked source, and the NextDiff editor is responsible for everything we publish. We don’t use AI to invent quotes, people or events, and we don’t publish AI-generated images or video as if they were real footage.

Corrections and updates

When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. See our corrections policy for how corrections are made and how to report an error. Stories updated with new information show the update time under the headline.

Independence and sponsorship

  • NextDiff doesn’t run display ads, and no company pays for coverage or reviews stories before they are published.
  • Sponsored content, if we ever run it, is clearly labelled as sponsored and is never written by the newsroom.
  • If NextDiff or its owner has a connection to a company in a story, the story discloses it.

Ownership

NextDiff is an independent publication owned and run by KriyaX Labs, which also publishes the NextDiff apps for Android and iPhone.
