The Carrot blog

A little more context.

Notes on useful briefs, better questions, and keeping the sources close.

How a finite briefing differs from a feed, and how Carrot organises your interests into streams, a roundup and individual stories.

Give your personal news brief a subject, a boundary and a useful angle. Examples for research, work and interests, without complicated prompting.

A practical source-checking routine: identify the claim, open the original, compare dates and numbers, and notice what the summary leaves uncertain.
