How we report

VinniePolitan.tv is published by Politan Modern Media LLC. Vinnie Politan is a former prosecutor and a veteran trial anchor. This page explains how the stories on this site are made.

Who writes the stories

Stories are written by the VinniePolitan.tv desk. The desk drafts them with the help of AI writing tools, working only from reporting published by named news organizations. Every story lists the outlets it draws on, and quotes are copied word for word from that reporting and attributed to the outlet that printed them.

Vinnie's own words

Vinnie Politan's commentary appears on this site only as direct quotes from his own broadcasts, labeled "Vinnie on air" and linked to the moment he said it. The analysis section labeled "The legal read" is the desk's analysis of the court record. It is not written by Vinnie and does not speak for him.

Checks before publishing

Automated checks compare quotes against the source reporting, hold back stories whose headline is not supported by the reporting, and keep language about people who have not been convicted to "accused," "charged" or "prosecutors say." People charged with crimes are presumed innocent.

Plain legal language

We use the legal names of crimes and charges as courts and prosecutors use them. We do not describe violence in graphic detail.

Images

The images at the top of our stories are illustrations made with AI image tools. They are not photographs of the people, places or events in the story.
