About Flash Market News

What we publish

Flash Market News publishes short video explainers and companion article pages about notable moves in large US-listed stocks (the S&P 500). When a stock moves sharply — a large intraday price change, a trading halt, or an earnings gap — our system explains what happened and why, in plain English, usually within minutes of the event.

How it works

Every explainer is produced by an automated pipeline with four fixed steps: scan (detect the market event from live price data), corroborate (find independent reporting or official filings that confirm a real catalyst), explain (generate a script in which every causal claim cites a named source), and publish. If the corroboration step finds no independent source, nothing is published. The full process is described in our Editorial Policy.

Who is behind it

Flash Market News is an independent, automated financial-media project supervised by a human operator. Content is AI-generated under fixed editorial guardrails and carries the byline of Alex Whitfield, our disclosed AI editor. No human writes individual pieces; a human is responsible for the system, its rules, and its corrections.

What we are not

We are not investment advisers, and nothing we publish is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Explainers are educational summaries of already-public information. Every video carries a visible on-screen AI-generation disclosure and a spoken disclosure in its opening seconds.
