What is AVALW News?
AVALW News is the world's first AI newsroom built entirely on real-time live television monitoring. We watch 70+ news channels across 45+ countries, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a story breaks on live TV anywhere in the world, our system detects it, transcribes the broadcast in real time using proprietary AI speech recognition running on our own servers, verifies the facts, and publishes an original article in the native language of that country within minutes.
We are not an aggregator. We do not collect headlines, copy text, translate, or paraphrase any source. Every article on AVALW News is an original work of journalism with its own structure, phrasing, and editorial voice. Our AI functions as a team of reporters who are watching every channel simultaneously and writing original stories from what they hear and verify.
AVALW News publishes in 33+ languages with correct native diacritics and grammar. A story from Romania is written in Romanian. A story from Japan is written in Japanese. A story from Saudi Arabia is written in Arabic. We believe people deserve to read the news in their own language, from their own region, without delay.
Previous version (before May 19, 2026): AVALW News previously operated as an AI synthesis platform that aggregated content from 437+ public RSS feeds across 59 countries. Articles were generated by cross-referencing multiple written sources about the same event. This system has been fully retired and replaced by the AVALW Live Protocol, which monitors live television broadcasts directly. All new articles are now produced exclusively through real-time broadcast monitoring.
The numbers
How it works
Every article published on AVALW News passes through a rigorous six-stage pipeline before it reaches you.
Monitor
Our AI newsroom monitors live television news broadcasts from more than 30 countries, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We cover national news channels across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. The monitoring runs continuously in real time, capturing every story the moment it airs, in the original broadcast language.
Detect
Our AI identifies new stories and separates them from recurring coverage, advertisements, and non-news content. Each detected story is tagged with its country of origin, language, topic category, and precise timestamp. The system distinguishes between a new breaking development and an update to an existing story, avoiding duplicate coverage while ensuring nothing is missed.
Research and verify
This is the most critical stage. Every detected story undergoes independent verification. Our AI cross-references facts against multiple sources, searches publicly available records and databases, and checks names, locations, figures, and key claims for accuracy. If a name or detail cannot be confirmed, the system researches it further before including it. Unverified claims, single-source allegations, and unattributed speculation are excluded from the final article.
Synthesize and write
Our AI reporter synthesizes verified information into a completely new article in the native language of the country where the story originated. This is not transcription or translation. The result is original journalism with its own structure, phrasing, and narrative arc. Articles are detailed and thorough, providing full context and background. The writing follows professional editorial standards: lead with the most important facts, provide context, explain significance, present multiple perspectives, and maintain a calm, factual tone.
Review and verify
Every article undergoes automated verification before publication. Our AI review system checks factual accuracy, proper attribution, balanced tone, headline quality, and editorial standards. Additionally, the system cross-references key claims against Google and Bing search results to confirm the story is being reported by other sources. If a claim cannot be independently verified through search engines or public records, it is flagged for additional scrutiny or excluded. Headlines must be informative without being sensationalist. Coverage of sensitive events must be factual without causing unnecessary alarm. Articles that do not meet our standards are revised or withheld.
Illustrate
Every image on AVALW News is generated by AI running on our own hardware. We never use photographs from news sources or stock libraries. All images are clearly labeled as AI-generated and include embedded metadata identifying them as synthetic content, in full compliance with the EU AI Act. Our image guidelines are strict: no depictions of identifiable individuals, no text overlays, no national flags, and no content that could be mistaken for a real photograph. Images are designed to be atmospheric and editorial in nature.
Our principles
Transparency
Every article lists every source used in its creation. Every image is marked as AI-generated. Every step of the editorial process is documented publicly in our Terms of Service. There is no hidden process.
Facts over opinion
We extract and verify facts. We do not add commentary, editorial judgment, ideological framing, or political perspective. When sources disagree, we present both sides and let the reader decide.
Full attribution
We link to every original article that contributed to a synthesis. We drive traffic back to the publishers who do the original reporting. We believe good journalism deserves to be found, read, and credited.
Privacy by design
We do not collect IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device information, or geolocation data. We use only strictly necessary cookies for basic site functionality. We do not run analytics or tracking of any kind.
Accountability
Every article includes a report button. Every report is reviewed by a human editor within 24 hours. If we get something wrong, we correct it publicly and promptly.
Independence
Our AI models run on our own servers. We do not rely on third-party AI providers or cloud APIs. Our editorial pipeline is entirely self-hosted, which means no external entity has influence over what we publish or how we publish it.
Copyright and legal compliance
AVALW News is built from the ground up to respect intellectual property law. We monitor live broadcasts and produce entirely original journalism based on the facts reported. We do not copy, paraphrase, or republish content from any source. Here is what we do, and why it is legal.
What is protected by copyright, and what is not
Copyright law protects the specific way a journalist writes a story: the choice of words, the sentence structure, the narrative arc, the creative expression. Copyright does not protect the underlying facts. The Berne Convention, Article 2(8), states explicitly: "The protection of this Convention shall not apply to news of the day or to miscellaneous facts having the character of mere items of press information."
This means that the fact "the president rejected the peace proposal on Sunday" is not owned by anyone. The specific paragraph a journalist wrote to report that fact is protected. AVALW News uses only the facts. We never use the expression.
How we are different from illegal aggregators
| Criteria | Illegal copying | AVALW News |
|---|---|---|
| Source count | Takes from 1 article | Synthesizes from 10 to 20+ independent sources |
| Process | Copies or paraphrases text | Extracts only facts, writes entirely new text |
| Creative expression | Preserves or rewrites original phrasing | Generates completely new structure and phrasing |
| Images | Copies photos from sources | 100% AI-generated, clearly labeled |
| Attribution | Minimal or absent | Full attribution with direct links to every source |
| Effect on market | Replaces the original, takes traffic away | Drives traffic back to original publishers |
| Legal status | Copyright infringement | Transformative use, legally protected |
The legal framework we operate under
Our operations comply with multiple overlapping legal frameworks:
European Media Freedom Act (EMFA, 2024)
The EMFA, which entered into force on 7 May 2024, protects journalistic independence and editorial freedom across the EU. AVALW operates as an AI-powered newsroom that monitors publicly available broadcasts and produces original reporting, an activity explicitly protected under media freedom provisions. The regulation prohibits interference in editorial decisions and protects journalists' right to report freely on public information.
Berne Convention (Art. 2, para. 8)
"The protection of this Convention shall not apply to news of the day or to miscellaneous facts having the character of mere items of press information." This treaty, signed by 182 countries, confirms that facts heard on public broadcasts are not owned by anyone. AVALW listens to public broadcasts and writes original articles based on the facts heard, exactly as any human reporter would.
People's Republic of China - Compliance Notice
AVALW News publishes Chinese-language content (simplified and traditional) from servers located exclusively in the European Union, under EU jurisdiction and Romanian law. This content is produced for Chinese-speaking audiences worldwide. AVALW News does not actively distribute content within the territory of the PRC, does not operate on Chinese platforms (WeChat, Weibo, Douyin), and does not solicit subscriptions through Chinese agents. We do not hold a CAC Internet News Information Service License (互联网新闻信息服务许可证). Access from any jurisdiction is at the user's own discretion and legal responsibility. AVALW collects only anonymous analytics data and no personally identifiable information as defined under China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). For full details, see Section 15 of our Terms and Conditions.
EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689, Art. 50)
Full compliance with transparency obligations. All AI-generated articles are clearly labeled. All AI-generated images carry machine-readable metadata identifying them as synthetic content. Users can report errors at any time. Our AI models run on our own servers in the EU, not through external APIs.
EU Copyright Directive (2019/790, Art. 15)
Article 15 protects press publications but explicitly exempts "individual words or very short extracts." AVALW does not copy any text from any source. We listen to live broadcasts, extract facts, and write entirely new articles with our own structure and phrasing. Our output is original journalism, not reproduction.
U.S. Fair Use (17 U.S.C. 107)
Our work is transformative: we listen to public broadcasts and create original articles, the same activity any journalist performs. We use only facts (not creative expression), take no copyrightable material, and our work serves a different audience than the original broadcast. This is protected journalistic activity under the First Amendment and fair use doctrine.
GDPR (EU 2016/679)
We collect no personal data. No IP addresses. No browser fingerprints. No device information. No geolocation. No tracking pixels. No third-party analytics. Only strictly necessary cookies for basic site preferences. Email subscriptions use double opt-in verification.
Brazil (Lei 9.610/98, Art. 46)
Article 46 of Brazil's Copyright Act explicitly states that reproduction of news and informative articles does not constitute copyright infringement. AVALW listens to public broadcasts and writes original articles based on facts, fully compatible with Brazilian law. We comply with the LGPD by collecting no personal data from Brazilian users.
Japan (Copyright Act, Art. 41)
Article 41 permits reproduction of works seen or heard in the course of reporting current events, within a scope justified for news reporting purposes. AVALW monitors public Japanese broadcasts and writes original articles based on facts heard during live news coverage. This is the same activity any foreign correspondent performs when watching NHK and filing a report.
South Korea (Copyright Act, Art. 28)
Article 28 permits quotation from publicly available works for purposes of news reporting, criticism, education, and research. Korean courts have recognized fair use exceptions for transformative journalistic works. AVALW writes entirely original articles in Korean based on facts heard on public broadcasts, without reproducing any source text.
UAE (Federal Decree-Law 38/2021)
The UAE Copyright Law explicitly excludes "news and reports on current incidents and events of a purely informative nature" from copyright protection. Speeches delivered in public sessions and reproduced within the framework of reporting current news are also exempt. AVALW reports on facts from public broadcasts, which falls squarely within these exclusions.
Saudi Arabia (Copyright Law, Royal Decree M/41)
Saudi copyright law excludes "what is published in newspapers, magazines, periodicals, and broadcasts of daily news or events of a news nature" from protection. AVALW monitors publicly available Saudi broadcasts and writes original articles based on the news facts reported, consistent with this exception.
Albania (Law 35/2016, EU acquis)
As an EU candidate country, Albania has harmonized its copyright framework with the EU acquis. Factual reporting and news of the day are exempt from copyright protection. AVALW produces original journalism from facts heard on public broadcasts, fully within this legal framework.
DMCA Safe Harbor (17 U.S.C. 512)
We maintain a designated DMCA agent, a formal notice-and-takedown procedure, and a repeat infringer policy. Any broadcaster or publisher can request review of content and receive a response within 48 hours.
Broadcaster and publisher relations
AVALW monitors publicly available television broadcasts, the same information accessible to any viewer worldwide. This is a fundamental journalistic activity protected under press freedom laws in every jurisdiction we operate in. We do not access any private, encrypted, or subscription-only content.
We value good relationships with broadcasters and welcome any conversation about how their content is referenced. For inquiries, contact office@avalw.com with the subject "Publisher Relations".
AVALW News functions as a team of AI reporters who watch publicly available news channels and write original articles, the same way any foreign news bureau monitors international broadcasts. We attribute every source and encourage readers to watch the original broadcast.
