Breaking News Maker App vs AverPoint

Breaking News Maker is a community newsroom. Something happening on your street, at your club, in your town? Write it up and publish it — it takes a minute, and your story gets a real news page of its own. WRITE IT LIKE IT MATTERS Pick a desk — World, Business, Sports, Travel, Entertainment, Lifestyle and more. Add a headline, a few paragraphs and a photo. The photo does most of the work. Publish, and you get a link that opens as a proper news page, not a screenshot. Spotted a typo after sending it round? You have 24 hours to fix the headline and the text, and the link stays the same. SEND IT TO ANYONE Share the link in a message, a group chat, a post, an email. Whoever opens it sees the full story with your photo, laid out like a front page. A FEED WORTH READING Everything filed through the app lands in Latest, and the stories people actually read climb the Most Read board. Some of it is local reporting. Some of it is a rec-league final that went to penalties. Both belong. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF IF YOU LIKE Not everything needs an audience. Publish privately and your story stays off the public feed — it works by link only, for the people you send it to. HOW WE KEEP IT SENSIBLE Every story carries a byline saying a reader filed it. Reports are published as submitted and are not verified by an editor, and the app says so plainly. Photos are screened automatically before they appear. Any story can be reported from the app in one tap and is reviewed by a person, and you can block a poster you would rather not see. Breaking News Maker is not a news organisation and does not publish verified journalism. It is a place for people to report what is going on around them.

AverPoint is a more elegant news experience that inspires learning instead of outrage. Our tools empower individuals to navigate the world's information crisis, and help you make better choices for yourself, your family, and free societies. Our app suggests articles based on what you’re reading - that aim to broaden and deepen your understanding. Instead of send you down the rabbit hole and reinforce your biases, we aim to help you read about new topics, from multiple perspectives, and across more geographies. Our app also gives you an analysis of what you’re reading, and helps you set weekly goals to improve. We measure what you read on our app, and you can also share articles from other apps to AverPoint - like sharing a link to Twitter. Our app also integrates with our browser extension, which can measure what you read in the background. As you advance in AverPoint, we introduce our “credibility layer” - which encourages you to participate as you read. You can question claims, see the author’s underlying evidence, and request expert reviews. Empowered individuals are our best defense against rising authoritarianism.
