Heatline explains why a celebrity, entertainment, sports, viral, or true-crime query is trending, using named sources. We do not present rumor as fact.
- Quotes must come from a cited outlet. We do not invent them.
- Unconfirmed claims are labeled as such.
- For true-crime and tragedy coverage: we report only what named outlets confirmed. No speculation on cause, manner, or guilt. No implying guilt before a verdict.
- Corrections go on the story or via the contact page.
AI is a research and drafting tool. If a story cannot be sourced, it is not published.
