Description

UNBIASED AND INFORMATIVE
• Roca gives you unbiased, daily news, history, and games that make staying informed actually fun
• Unbiased and nonpartisan: We give you just facts, so you can form your own opinions
• Completable and once-daily: We won’t bombard you with endless notifications that the sky is falling or "breaking" news. We drop one set of stories per day so you can stay informed and then get on with your day
• It’s fun: Built by young people who love video games but hate(d) reading the news
• It works: Our engaging stories, quizzes, polls, and game design help you actually remember the information you learn
• Roca Nation: 3M+ readers trust Roca to give them the news they need to know each day, without spin or bias

NEED-TO-KNOWS
Some news you want to know because it’s important; other news you want because it’s interesting. Roca’s “Need-to-Knows” are a set of the day’s most important and interesting news, so you can be the most interesting person at happy hour.

ROCA ON-THE-GROUND
Travel the world with Roca's correspondents as they deliver on-the-ground investigations of stories no one else is covering

• Globe Trotter: Guess where the story takes place on the map, then learn about a wildcard global topic
• Rabbit Hole: Trivia-based deep dives and guessing games
• Word Worm: Make as many words as you can from the Word of the Day, strengthen your vocab skills
• Rocapedia: Have fun and learn something new
• Roca Royale: Compete with users by learning and climbing a weekly leaderboard to earn spoils and glory
• Seasons: Unlock new sagas, avatars, and exclusive rewards by leveling up

WE AREN’T THEM
Big News makes staying informed a chore. They spout out divisive, endless, fear-mongering – and boring content. Roca delivers a fun and learning-based approach so you can be happier, healthier, and more informed.

SPEND LESS TIME ON YOUR PHONE AND LOWER YOUR STRESS
Other news companies send constant, fear-mongering notifications about so-called "breaking" news. We don’t do breaking news or endless scrolls. We publish once per day so you can get up to speed and then go touch grass

WHERE DID ROCANEWS COME FROM?
• 3 years ago, 3 friends couldn’t stand legacy media companies. They wanted their information without spin or fear – so they founded RocaNews
• Roca began delivering original news content on Instagram. It quickly grew to over 1 million followers and has since become the world’s fastest growing news company, with 3M+ daily readers across platforms

WHAT’S A ROCA?
“Roca” (ROW-cuh) is short for “Pororoca”, a biannual wave that sweeps the Amazon River. Surfers come from across the world to surf the Pororoca; it’s a wave that brings people together. That’s Roca’s mission with the news.
