The news, with a bit of spin

About grandchelem.be

grandchelem.be is a tennis news outlet with a humorous treatment, published from Brussels in French, Dutch and English.

What is true. Every dispatch starts from a real, sourced and verifiable fact. The main source is linked at the end of the article. Quotes attributed to real players, coaches or officials are reproduced as they were said.

What is invented. The reactions of Jean-Pol, Maxime, Cédric and Roland. They are fictional columnists, presented as such on The Newsroom page.

How it is made. Dispatches are written, checked, illustrated and published by a chain of artificial-intelligence programs, every half hour from 6 am to 11 pm, with no human review before publication. A human editor sets the rules (the editorial line, the thresholds, the forbidden subjects), adjusts them, and can pull a dispatch at any time. The full circuit is told on The Newsroom page.

Images. The visuals are illustrations generated by an image model from a scene written by the site, in a flat drawing style. Players are generic characters in them, never portraits; no photos, no synthetic images imitating a real person.

Responsible publisher. [Name, address, contact e-mail, company number — to be completed.]
