How we use other people's news

We summarise news that Danish outlets report. It is their work and their traffic — our job is to help people who cannot read Danish yet find it. So the rules we hold ourselves to are strict:

What we do

• We write our own line. Every digest item is a fresh English sentence describing what happened — a fact, in our own words. We do not translate or reproduce the publisher’s abstract, and we never copy article text.
• We name the source and link to it. Each item says which outlet reported it and links the canonical article, so the click, the advertising and the subscription go to them.
• We use published feeds. Where an outlet publishes an RSS feed for reuse, we read that feed. DR publishes its news feeds for free use and its own help page says so.
• We copy no images. No photographs, logos or graphics from other publishers appear on this site.
• We respect machine-readable opt-outs. Where an outlet has reserved text-and-data-mining rights (TV 2 has, under Danish copyright law §11b and DSM article 4), we do not machine-process it at all — no fetching, no summarising, no excerpts.
• We honour takedowns immediately. Ask and it is gone the same day, no argument, no conditions. {{ site.Params.contactEmail }}

What we never do

• Republish an article, in full or in long extracts.
• Present another outlet’s reporting as our own.
• Reuse another outlet’s images.
• Scrape a site whose robots.txt or terms say no.

For publishers

If you are a Danish newsroom and you would like your stories summarised here — or your feed added or removed — write to us. We would rather have your link than your silence, and we are happy to follow whatever conditions you set.

Corrections

We get things wrong sometimes, especially with fast-moving rules. Tell us and we fix the page and note the change. That matters more to us than looking flawless.
