News Neutralization Pipeline

The application uses a sophisticated AI pipeline to ensure neutral, fact-based news coverage:

Process Flow

1. News Fetching

   • Regularly polls NewsAPI for Trump-related articles
   • Filters for English language content
   • Deduplicates based on URL

2. AI Processing

   • Uses OpenAI's GPT model for neutralization
   • Separate prompts for headlines and descriptions
   • Maintains factual accuracy while removing bias
   • Formats descriptions with bullet points for clarity

3. Error Handling

   • Graceful fallback to original content if AI fails
   • Detailed error logging
   • Status tracking for each article

4. Storage

   • Stores both original and neutralized versions
   • Tracks neutralization status
   • Maintains error logs for debugging

Database Schema

The news_headlines table includes:

• original_title: Raw headline from source
• neutral_title: AI-neutralized headline
• original_description: Raw article description
• neutral_description: AI-neutralized description
• neutralization_status: Processing status (pending/completed/failed)
• error_log: Detailed error information if processing fails
