Methodology

How IndoPac stays current

Clear rules guide what we collect, how we label it, and what we publish.

The feed updates on a fixed schedule

A scheduled process fetches curated RSS feeds, normalizes timestamps, removes duplicates, tags headlines by topic and region, and publishes a fresh file.

Tags make the news easier to follow

IndoPac does not automatically rewrite source articles. It groups headlines into topics such as maritime security, diplomacy, Pacific politics, and technology so readers can follow the story.

Coverage is broad by design

Regional politics is more than military competition. Our sources and tags include energy, infrastructure, technology, domestic politics, and climate because these issues shape decisions across the Asia-Pacific region.

Geographic iconography

Location guides, not political claims

IndoPac's monochrome geographic silhouettes are adapted from @svg-maps/world by Victor Cazanave, refined into solid locator glyphs, and used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

These locator silhouettes help readers navigate. They do not state a position on sovereignty, recognition, constitutional status, maritime rights, or disputed boundaries. Regional icons are used when naming one country would be misleading.
