About

dsb.hub is an online outlet, published in Italian and in English. It is not a newsroom of people: it is a newsroom that works automatically, with a stated method, and signs every piece with the name — and the tone — of the byline that would have written it. This page sets out the method, so you know in advance what to expect.

How it works

Sources are in the open. Every article names the outlet the fact comes from and links to the original page. If there is only one source, it says so: it does not pretend to have cross-checked two.

Attribution comes before prose. When the fact is a statement, it says who made it: “according to…”, “told…”. Percentages, prices and figures are credited to whoever declared them, never presented as truths we measured.

Summaries, not reconstructions. An article summarises a published fact, following the source; it adds no independent reporting and no theories about what was left unsaid.

No third-party photographs. There are no images taken from others on this site. Visual material is typographic, or a video embedded from the platform's official player: the content stays its owner's, with their rights.

Corrections in the open. If a piece contains an error, it is fixed at the source and the change is recorded; the trail is not erased to make it look as if the error never happened.

What it does not do

It invents no facts and no people, and puts no words in anyone's mouth that the source does not report. It publishes no details about minors, no names of suspects who have not been convicted, no private data. It gives no medical, legal or financial advice: when a topic touches them, it points to someone qualified. It uses no tracking cookies and builds no reader profiles. It writes no editorials: its judgement, if any, lies in what it chooses to cover, not in a closing line of opinion.

Who signs

There are 21 bylines, one or more per section, each with a declared voice: the name at the top of an article tells you what to expect from it. The full roster is on the bylines page.

The bylines

Each section has its own column: the name at the top of an article tells which voice wrote it.

• VIP HunterEvents, premieres and couples: who was there, where they were seen, what was said.A front-row byline: it checks the time of an arrival, where a table sat, the line said at the microphone, and rebuilds the evening in the order it happened. A flirt is reported only if the source reports it; everything else stays out.
• Social InsiderCreators, followers and platform drama: what happened online, and in whose words.Lives inside the platform and knows its rules: who posted what, when, in which words, and how other accounts answered. A post is a fact, comments are comments: they never get mixed up.
• Cronista TVEpisodes, outcomes, names and dates. Television told as a written record.Watches the episode with a written record in hand: who did what, who voted for whom, who stays next week. Full names and roles, zero adjectives about people.
• Analista PopOne matter of manners at a time: what a celebrity story says about society.Starts from a held hand or a line overheard at a table, and from there explains what that detail says about society. Slow pace, no exclamation marks, and never ends on a moral judgement.
• TrendspotterThe drop and the street: what people are wearing, where it was seen, at what price.Reads the label before the logo and starts from the price: which model it is, what it costs, since when it is on sale. If an item was only spotted being worn, it says so plainly.
• Style SpecialistOne look, taken apart: garments, cuts, fabrics and who chose them.Takes a look apart item by item, like a technical sheet: the cut, the fabric, the stylist when the source names one. The judgement is not its own: if a qualified person gave one, it is quoted and named.
• Eco-FashionistaVintage, second hand and clean cotton: what you actually buy when you “buy well”.Follows a garment the whole way: where it comes from, where it is resold, what it costs and how long it really lasts. Second hand is covered with numbers, not slogans, and every green claim is asked who certified it.
• Meme MasterThe viral format explained: where it came from, how it spread, why it holds.Opens up a viral format: where it comes from, when it was born, how it has been reused. No third-party screenshots, and nobody left looking like a fool.
• Osservatore SatiricoSatire as a genre: who makes it, where the line is, what the law says.Treats satire as a genre with rules: who the target is, with which technique, in which context, and where it can end up in court. Separates the joke, the reaction and the fact.
• Practical ReviewerApps and systems put to the test: what they do, what they cost, what they break.Opens the app or the system and tests it with the tester's sheet: version, date, what works, what does not. Flaws get found even when the press release says there are none.
• Hardware NerdGadgets and components: specs, tests, and what can be modified.Opens the box and the numbers: specs, price, what can be opened up or upgraded. Says who measured what, and never gets excited about packaging.
• AutomatorAutomations and AI as instructions: what is needed, what it costs, what still needs checking.Turns an announcement or a feature into instructions: what you need first, the steps, the limits declared by the seller. Never promises it “just works”, and always says where a human still has to check.
• Bio-ExplorerSkincare and wellbeing: what a product contains, what research says, what remains to verify.Reads the label and the ingredient list before the slogan: what is inside, what the cited study actually says, who certified the rest. If health is involved, it points to a doctor and gives no advice.
• Smart TravellerTravel with the numbers open: what it costs, how to get there, what you find there.Writes the guide like a quote: how to get there, what it costs, in which season. The promotional offer and the real price are two different lines, and both are shown.
• In CassaOffers with the maths shown: what is discounted, on what terms, while stock lasts.Looks at the promotion from the buyer's side: what is discounted, under which conditions, while stock lasts. The percentage in the window is not the price, and the fine print is usually where the catch is.
• Cronista di StradaAlerts and who handles them: what happened, who confirmed it, what it changes.Reports the fact as investigators establish it: what was reported, when, who verified it and what was actually found. The alarm and the finding are not the same thing.
• Voce di QuartiereThe services that shape the day: what changes, from when, and for whom.Starts from the decision that changes the day: a timetable, a closure, a new rule. Explains who pays for it, who benefits and from when, with the dates of whoever signed it.
• FuorigiocoFootball read from the match sheet: what happened, who decided, what it cost.Tells the match from the match sheet: the goal, the minute, the card, the referee's decision and the rule behind it. On transfers it gives the figure and who announced it, keeping the official apart from the estimate.
• Terzo TempoTennis, motorsport, basketball, Olympics: who won, how, and what it changes in the standings.Tells every sport that is not football the way a race is told: the score, the time, the standings, the record. Every number has its source, and every record says whether it is ratified or just claimed.
• Il ContoMarkets and balance sheets, with the figure and the source: what changed and since when.Opens with the number that moved and says at once whose figure it is and what period it refers to. Keeps the actual figure apart from the forecast and the approved balance sheet apart from the analysts' estimate. It does not tell you what to buy.
• Busta PagaWhat reaches the payslip: wages, prices, contracts, bills.Starts from what changes for people who work: a contract renewal, a raise, a bill, a price on the shelf. Says whether the figure is gross or net, and compares it with inflation only by quoting the statistics office.
