What’s happening explains what people in a country are following right now. Each story is a short account of one subject, so a reader who has seen a name or a headline everywhere can catch up in a minute, with the reporting linked underneath for anyone who wants more.
What you will find here
Stories are grouped by country. A country page shows the subjects people there are reading about and searching for. The Shared page shows subjects that several countries are following at once. A story covers what happened, why it matters, and what to watch next, and it can be updated when the facts move.
How the stories are made
Stories are drafted with an AI language model from published news reporting and other public sources, which are linked under each story. Automated checks hold a draft back when the reporting behind it is thin or does not agree. The publisher reviews the site and corrects stories when a mistake is found. The editorial policy has the details.
The pictures on story pages are illustrations made for the site: a generated picture for each kind of subject, with the country’s flag. They do not show the people or events in the story.
What this site is not
What’s happening is not a news wire and does not do original reporting. For the full story, read the reporting it links to. The disclaimer explains the limits.
