A news organisation using technology to support and promote credible, independent and public interest journalism, and in turn, news media plurality
Running stably and sustainably since launch
Still independently owned and founder-led today
Ad funded - but actively exploring how, together with news organisations, we can move towards a future where public interest news and journalism is funded sustainably by the people it serves

News is at the heart of what we do. We're driven by the need to help make news serve people better, because a healthy society needs a healthy news diet.
NewsNow exists to facilitate this, by publishing headlines linking to breaking and curated news from a diverse range of credible, independent and public interest news sources.
On the platform, people can discover new publications, weigh up differing presentations of the facts and viewpoints, and challenge their preconceptions, all as they make up their own minds.
We believe this helps make society better, but huge challenges remain. We must urgently move towards a future where public interest news and journalism is effectively funded by — and distributed for — the people it serves.
Struan Bartlett, Founder & CEO
