What We Cover
Recent Stories
Editorial Standards
Every story published by the News Desk is paraphrased in our own words from publicly reported facts. We credit and link to the primary source at the bottom of each post. Facts themselves are not copyrightable; we take care to rewrite, summarize, and contextualize rather than republish. Where exact wording matters — such as quoted statements from public officials — we use short attributed quotes under 15 words.
We don't aggregate breaking crime news, individual high school sports results, or partisan political content. Our editorial filter is the three-audiences test: would a BYU or UVU student, a current local resident, and a person researching Provo all find this useful or interesting? If the answer is yes, it's a candidate. If not, we pass.
