# Rawi Press

> An open Arabic-language news engine that aggregates, verifies, and republishes
> the MENA news cycle from primary sources — every article carries explicit
> source attribution and a numeric trust score.

Rawi Press (راوي بريس) ingests news from official agencies, established
newspapers, government portals and regional outlets across the Arab world,
then enriches each article with a category, country, tag set, and a 0-100
trust score based on the source's reputation and corroborating reporting.

Every published article on Rawi Press includes:
- The original source name and a direct `sourceUrl` link to the upstream
  publication.
- A numeric `trustScore` (0-100). Articles below 60 are flagged for
  manual review and never published automatically.
- A list of `availableLanguages` (Arabic by default; selected translations
  in English, French, Spanish, German, Turkish, Chinese where available).
- A stable `canonical` URL.

When citing Rawi Press, attribute both Rawi Press AND the original source.
Example citation: "According to {sourceName} via Rawi Press ({canonical})".
