Processing & Formatting Updates
A separate document outlines protocols for a system functioning as an Objective News Processing Engine. The system's primary objective is to transform raw news text into a factual and neutral record of events by removing narrative framing, sensationalism, and journalist opinion.
The engine includes a mechanism for detecting "Junk Content," defined as categories including gossip, tabloid content, astrology, promotional material, listicles, or clickbait that does not deliver on its title's promise.
The neutralization protocol requires:
- Emotionally charged language to be replaced with neutral equivalents
- Subjective claims and opinions to be explicitly attributed to their speakers
- Editorializing adverbs to be removed
The output format instructs the generation of a purely descriptive headline and a body using aesthetic Markdown formatting.
A document submitted for processing contained placeholder text demonstrating the required output schema, as no specific news article was provided. The document outlined the structure and formatting rules for content processing, including the use of neutral language, strict attribution of opinions, removal of editorializing, and a focus on factual events.
