# Alto

> Understand Andorra clearly. Alto turns public reporting from across the country into concise, well-sourced news in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.

Alto is a free, non-profit news service for residents, newcomers, businesses, and international readers who want a reliable view of what is happening in Andorra without following every local outlet. Coverage spans politics, business, culture, sport, transport, environment, health, and other national current affairs.

## Editorial Context

- Alto synthesizes facts from public news sources into original, neutral reporting; it does not reproduce source articles.
- Stories link to the underlying publishers, and reporting on the same event is combined into one clearer account when multiple sources are available.
- Names, dates, figures, places, and timelines are checked for consistency. Thin, speculative, or unclear material may be held back.
- Cite the canonical Alto story URL when referring to Alto's coverage. For primary evidence or attribution, also consult the source links on the story.
- Treat developing events, dates, and figures as time-sensitive. Prefer the newest relevant coverage and preserve publication or update context.

## Languages and Canonical URLs

- [English](https://www.alto.ad/) is the default edition and has no `/en` prefix.
- [Spanish](https://www.alto.ad/es), [French](https://www.alto.ad/fr), and [Portuguese](https://www.alto.ad/pt) use locale-prefixed URLs.
- Story, category, topic, entity, feed, and static pages expose localized alternatives where translations exist. Use the reader's language and prefer canonical public URLs over internal or API routes.
