1. Introduction

Welcome to Economic Insight — an independent digital publication covering macroeconomic and financial news across Europe and the Americas. The platform aggregates timely reporting, official data releases, and editorial analysis in a single interface designed for clarity and speed.

This guide explains the main features of the site, how our editorial process works, and the policies that govern the use of our content and data. It is intended for all readers: individual subscribers, institutional clients, and visitors browsing without an account.

If you have a question that is not answered here, please contact our support team using the details at the end of this guide.

2. Navigating the News

The top navigation bar provides direct access to the main sections of the platform:

• Home — the latest headlines, a featured video briefing, recent notices, and a live snapshot of USD exchange rates.
• Notices — official platform announcements, editorial calendars, and service updates.
• Guide — this page.
• Match — the Quick Match tool for personalised recommendations.
• Report — the Report Center for flagging inaccurate or inappropriate content.

Search. The search bar in the header searches article titles, summaries, and tags. Results are displayed on the homepage with a summary bar indicating how many articles matched. Use the "Clear" link to return to the default view.

Article cards. Each card shows a category tag, headline, publication date, estimated reading time, and a short excerpt. Clicking the headline or the "Read more" link opens the full article. Images are loaded lazily to keep the page fast.

Inside an article. The detail page includes a hero image, the full text with in-line figures and captions, author and date information, and a set of related articles at the bottom. A "Share" button uses the native share sheet on supported devices and falls back to copying the link to the clipboard.

3. Notices & Updates

The Notices page lists all official announcements from the Economic Insight team. Each notice carries a category tag (Editorial, System, Policy, Service, Update) and a publication date, making it easy to filter visually by type.

Notices are used for:

• Editorial calendars and coverage previews.
• Platform and API changes (including breaking changes to the data schema).
• Policy updates such as corrections, AI disclosure requirements, and content guidelines.
• Scheduled maintenance windows and service advisories.

We recommend checking the Notices page at least once a month if you rely on the API or on scheduled data feeds.

4. Quick Match

Quick Match recommends articles based on the topics you select. The tool is entirely client-side: no personal data is transmitted to our servers, and no account is required.

To use it:

• Open the Match page.
• Click one or more topic chips (for example, Monetary Policy, Macro, Markets).
• The matching articles update instantly below the controls.
• Use the Reset button to clear all selections.

Each chip displays a count of how many articles are currently tagged with that topic. The list of topics is generated automatically from the published archive.

5. Report Center

If you encounter content that is inaccurate, misleading, in breach of copyright, or otherwise inappropriate, please use the Report Center. Reports are reviewed by our editorial team within two business days.

When submitting a report, please include:

• The URL of the article or notice.
• A brief description of the issue, including any supporting sources if available.
• An optional contact email in case we need to follow up.

We treat all reports confidentially. Where a correction is warranted, we publish a visible notice at the top of the affected article and record the correction in our public corrections log.

6. Data & Sources

Editorial content is written by our in-house journalists and analysts. Data referenced in articles and notices is drawn from primary sources, including:

• Central banks: the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and other monetary authorities.
• Statistical agencies: the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Eurostat, and national statistics offices.
• Market data: exchange rates and sovereign yields sourced from public market feeds and cross-checked against at least two providers.
• Wire services and partner outlets: Reuters, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times, used for attribution and cross-verification.

Exchange rates shown on the homepage are indicative and refreshed during the trading day. They are provided for reference only and should not be used for settlement, accounting, or trading decisions. For contractual or regulatory purposes, please consult your financial institution.

The Data API exposes the same structured content used by the website. Endpoints are documented in the developer help center. All responses are served over HTTPS and include a versioned schema. Breaking changes are announced on the Notices page at least 30 days in advance.
