Reference
Source map for news research
This standing reference supports daily tracking of global and Japanese technology trends, Japanese politics, and international politics, then turns the signals into news posts or long-form reports. It is not a list of news outlets. It separates official announcements, RSS and API feeds, research and implementation signals, regulatory and vulnerability information, and primary materials from governments and international organizations.
Reference policy

Daily news judgment
Classify collected information into AI, security, developer-tools, data-infrastructure, semiconductor, policy-japan, japan-politics, and geopolitics. Decide whether to turn it into an article by checking practical impact, novelty, confidence, spillover to Japan, and whether it needs follow-up.
Daily news should stay concise while stating the background, what changed, practical implications, unresolved points, and sources. For political developments, separate institutions, key actors, domestic pressures, and diplomatic, security, and market spillovers. Weekly reporting should group multiple signals moving in the same direction instead of treating each item as isolated news.
