“rinairs” is an acronym combining two components:

1. respected international news agencies’

This term refers to news “wholesalers” who provide content to thousands of news “retailers” around the free world.

2. information-reportage standards

This term refers to the standards used for example in the business, science, and sports content of news organizations; news content also meets or exceeds information-reportage standards.

(Most other content, including travel, real-estate, food, lifestyle, and feature-related content, does NOT meet “information reportage” standards, let alone “news reportage” standards.)

Why is rinairs the reference standard in V7 and V8?

Because there is no other universally trusted standard.

• By invoking rinairs, V7 and V8 can provide “gatekeeping” assistance to image providers who want to be islands of trust.

• In other words, rinairs lets V7 and V8 perform a “cleanup” role for publishers, weeding out any videos that get past V1–V6 but still may be problematic from a trustworthiness perspective.

• There’s nothing exotic or exclusive about rinairs: millions of widely published photos, seen by billions of people, meet those standards.

rinairs is not magic

TTG’s invocation of the “rinairs” standard does NOT mean that “respected international news agencies” are infallible, inarguably objective in every situation, always and forever without a hint of bias on even the smallest matters, able to meet their own standards in every respect 100% of the time, capable of monitoring every choice made and every change performed by each of the tens of thousands of people from whom they receive images, or any similar common misunderstandings.

TTG will always be based on the standards not of any specific “brand” but rather on the standards of the largest international suppliers of trusted photographs, whoever they may be.
