How Leak Radar handles rumors, leaks and confirmed news
Leak Radar is built for fast-moving coverage, but speed only works if readers can tell what is confirmed, what is reported and what is still speculative.
Story labels
Each story type is labeled so readers can quickly understand the confidence level and editorial framing of a piece.
- Leak: material, renders, sightings or early product evidence circulating before launch
- Rumor: unconfirmed claims, supply-chain chatter or speculation that has not been verified
- Report: third-party reporting from a named source or outlet
- Confirmed: official announcements, published facts or retailer-visible offers
- Statement: public remarks, posts, interviews or direct comments from named figures
Sources and updates
Leak Radar prefers named sources, public posts, public retailer listings and established technology publications when building a story trail.
Stories may be updated as the cycle develops. When a rumor changes materially, the site may update the original article or publish a fresh follow-up.
Corrections and removals
If a story is materially wrong, misleading or no longer appropriate for publication, it may be corrected, updated or removed.
Readers should expect the editorial system to improve over time as the site moves from a lightweight launch foundation toward a more formal operating model.
