70 million Articles Read Monthly

1. We evaluate a publication against our Editorial Standards, which require a track record of publishing quality, credible journalism.

2. Once accepted, we check their website, day and night, for new stories.

3. Our technology evaluates every article against editorially-driven criteria, and adds it to the relevant feeds.

4. We reassess feeds and publications regularly to keep standards high, and work with publishers where necessary to help achieve this.

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.

News Now 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

With up to 1.4 million people in Britain experiencing gambling harms, we have a responsibility to our users to provide an environment suitable for all and we're committed to reducing the volume and density of gambling promotion.

For more than a decade we have operated tight restrictions on gambling advertising on our platform, and since at least 2014 have not accepted any gambling advertising whatsoever.

We also uphold strict policies on content we link to:

It’s a long-term mission, which is why we value long-term relationships with our team members, who come from many different backgrounds, cultures and perspectives.

We have a flat management structure where initiative is prized, voices are heard, and efforts are rewarded. And while News Now is an exceptionally stable business, it still offers the excitement and involvement of a start-up.
