Looks interesting, but I have a question: who provides the titles and who (if anyone) can edit them?
I ask because one of the top news is "Facebook launches it's own currency" (instead of "its") which I find a bit grating/unprofessional.
This, in turn, would make me question the sources.
Edit: typo
- thekyle 7y agoYou're right that's a typo. I've fixed it manually in the database. To answer your questions, the titles are provided by whoever submits the story to the site. It's up to that person whether to use a title from an article they found or come up with their own. There are some guidelines for that here: https://news.hoxly.com/guidelines https://news.hoxly.com/guidelines. As for editing, there is no automatic way for anyone to edit a title once it has been submitted (I did have an idea for allowing people to submit alternative titles and vote on them but never got around to it). Obviously under special circumstances someone with access to the database can edit them.
