About Jamaa News

Jamaa News answers a narrow question: when a name, phrase, or event suddenly spikes in search, what actually happened?

Every day, millions of people type something into Google because they saw it mentioned somewhere and have no idea what it means. Most of the results they get back assume they already know. We start from the opposite assumption — that you arrived here with no context at all — and give you the answer in the first paragraph.

How an article gets made

We monitor the Google Trends feed for the United States throughout the day. When a query starts rising, our publishing pipeline picks it up and produces a short explainer covering what the topic is, why it is surfacing now, and what is worth knowing about it.

1. Topic selection. Topics come from real search demand, not from a content calendar. We do not cover something because it monetises well, and we do not invent interest that is not there.
2. Drafting. A large language model writes the first draft from the trending query and publicly available context, following the standards set out in our editorial policy.
3. Checks. The draft is rejected automatically if it falls below our length floor, if the model is not confident it knows what the query refers to, or if the topic falls into a category we do not publish on. A rejected topic is skipped, not padded out.
4. Publication. What survives is published with an AI-assistance disclosure, under a named editor who is accountable for it.

We tell you when AI wrote it

Trends News uses an automated pipeline. Topics are sourced from Google Trends, drafted by a large language model, paired with a licensed or generated image, and published under the supervision of our managing editor. We disclose this on every article. We do not publish under invented bylines, and we do not present AI-generated text as first-hand reporting. Where an article touches on a living person or a developing event, we limit ourselves to what is verifiable in public sources.

We think that disclosure is the price of using these tools responsibly. You will find it at the bottom of every article on this site, and we would rather lose a reader who objects to it than keep one who was not told.

What we will not publish

• Medical, legal, or financial advice. We describe what happened; we do not tell you what to do about it.
• Deaths, crimes, tragedies, or unverified allegations about named living people. These need human judgement that an automated pipeline cannot supply, so we skip them entirely.
• Fabricated quotes, statistics, or sources. If we cannot support a claim, it does not appear.
• Articles written under invented author names. There is one editor here, and it is a real person.
