## Questions, answered briefly

**What is the wire?**

Public posts about Christchurch as they land, the fediverse, r/chch, the news relayed through Google, council papers, Flickr and iNaturalist, each linked at the place that published it.

**Are wire posts verified?**

No. The wire relays what outlets and public feeds say, a post here is a pointer to the publisher, not a checked or endorsed fact.

**Where does each post link?**

To the publisher’s own page, the site keeps the headline and the moment it landed; the source keeps the story.

**How fresh is the wire?**

Newest first, updated as the sources publish, the feed is a live relay, not a daily digest.
