Description

Verity is a free news app created by the Improve the News Foundation (ITN), an apolitical American non-profit. It aims to counter misuses of artificial intelligence that have resulted in a distorted online news environment, where alternative facts often overshadow scientific truths, and biased narratives contribute to social discord. Verity’s aim is to empower people to discover the complete and nuanced truth behind every major news story. It does this by separating facts from narratives. This even includes “nerd narratives” from the Metaculus forecasting community. Verity is also a powerful news aggregator facilitating viewing news from multiple perspectives.

Almost perfect

Would be perfect with:

- ability to enable reader view for an article or load articles with the reader view on;

- option to open articles in built in browser or external one.

Get excited about reading the news!

I love this app! It’s a rare gem. Reading news has all of a sudden become really interesting! I noticed over the years that I was getting more and more bored with reading the news. I thought it was still very important to stay informed about what’s going on in the world, so I tried everything from subscribing to different media outlets to tinkering with my social media feed to be able to discover interesting articles, but nothing worked. Before finding this gem, most of the news I was getting was on topics that made me yawn, or poorly written articles recounting in painful detail twitter wars that could have been summarized in two sentences. And then the website version of this app came along and I was hooked. Finally it was very easy to access deep and well-written analyses about really thought-provoking topics sourced from outlets from around the world providing a global perspective. I really loved that by experimenting with the settings (especially the establishment stance slider) I was able to find a newsfeed that was really engaging to me, and also by playing around with the political stance slider I could become aware of the kind of news people I disagree with consume. I’ve recommended it to my entire family. This app is a must try!

Fantastic app to replace all news apps!

There is really no reason to use any other news source instead of Improve the News. The headlines are aggregated and things I care about are categorized cleanly.

As you know, the revolution comes with the sliders. You can see what the other viewpoints are on the breaking news stories and easily browse through different opinions to break your filter bubble.

It’s been a long year with news media becoming even more partizan and dividing us. Improve the News offers a fantastic tool to break out of your filter bubble.
