SECOND HEADLINES
The headline says it. Discourse says what it leaves out.
DISCOURSE
One violation, and every old sanction comes back — no UN vote needed.
WHAT YOU GET
Built for the moments you usually have to Google.
Every claim worth checking gets one more fact, one source, and one line on why we showed it to you.
01
What's the catch?
Every claim gets a counter-fact you didn't have. Plain language, primary source.
02
Who benefits?
One biggest winner, one biggest loser, on every policy story.
03
What's in it for me?
Big numbers, made personal to where you live and what you do.
PERSONAL CONTEXT
Discourse knows what you've read. So it shows you what's new.
Not five viewpoints. The one fact that actually moves your understanding.
RATIONALE
Because you've read 14 stories on Iran sanctions this month.
CLAIM
One violation, and every old sanction comes back — no UN vote needed.
BUILDING WITH
The Washington PostArc XP
An evidence layer the news business helped design.
Discourse runs on a credibility-weighted research layer — Post archives, open web, government data, and the stories you've already read. You see every source. We show our work.
