About us

By threading multiple perspectives from thousands of publications through one platform, Ground News frees people from algorithmic restraints, illuminates blindspots and makes media bias explicit. Neutral in assessment, efficient in consumption, all in service of empowering you to make educated decisions. Our vision is positive coexistence where cooperative, civil debate is the norm, media is accountable, and critical thought is the baseline of our information consumption. We’re not better news. We’re a better way to read it.

    Our CEO and Co-Founder, Harleen K., had the privilege of speaking to the brilliant Liv Boeree on her podcast, Win-Win. Liv is a poker champion and speaker who is now working to find, study, and elevate the win-wins in life. They spoke about their mutual distaste for Moloch, the incentive systems that put us in echo chambers, and, more importantly, the ones that can get us out. Check out Liv’s work and watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/gRQ7p8mC

    We’re proud to have sponsored Dissident Dialogues, an event that gathered the world’s leading cultural critics, heterodox thinkers, and dissidents under one greenhouse in Brooklyn. As a company that has long informed readers and supported creators from across the globe and political spectrum, we were delighted to see our vision come to life in the physical world. A future where diversity of thought is abundant and well-informed, civil debate is the norm. Thanks to all of our readers who stopped by to say hi, creators who have supported our mission for years, and to This Is 42 for putting on a great show.

    Last week, we ran our Most Trusted News Source competition on X and Instagram, and 32 outlets competed to see which sources have earned the public’s trust and distrust. Here are the outcomes of both of the brackets. The X community voted The Free Press as this year’s most trusted news source, while the Instagram community selected Reuters. The results were starkly different, and the outcomes can help demonstrate how perceptions of media bias may differ across platforms. Which outlet do you think the community would select as its most trusted if we ran this competition on LinkedIn?

    With a world of information at our fingertips, we know it can be confusing for students to navigate today’s complex media landscape, especially with a lack of resources on the topic being made available to them. That’s why we’re working to bring media literacy to schools and help empower students with the tools they need to think critically about the world around them.

    On a mission to bring news literacy to the masses through the power of libraries!

    Feeling inspired after the Charleston Conference! Thank you to the amazing team at Charleston Hub, the event was spectacular. As a first time exhibitor I was so pleased with the entire process :) And Ground News will be rolling out in several universities and libraries this year, and I'm so excited! It. Is. happening! This platform isn't just about delivering news; it's about empowering students with the tools to critically engage with the world around them. Ground News opens doors for students to explore diverse perspectives and develop as informed citizens, which is increasingly vital in today's intricate information landscape. Being part of a movement that equips the next generation with the skills to navigate and understand various news sources is both thrilling and a privilege. Join me on this journey towards a better way of consuming news - together, we can make a difference! #GroundNews #EducationInnovation #FutureOfNews #medialiteracy #eresource #librariestransform #charlestonhub
