NewsCord reads the news from every side, so you never have to trust a single outlet again. For every major story, NewsCord gathers how dozens of outlets covered it and shows you exactly where they differ: what was said, what was spun, and what was quietly left out. THE FEED One balanced feed built from dozens of outlets at once. Each day opens with the sharpest divide: the story outlets disagree on most, with their contrasting quotes side by side. Breaking alerts are backed by cross-outlet analysis, not hot takes. THE ANALYSIS Open any story and get: - The story in 15 seconds: the key points before the noise - The divide: real quotes from different outlets on the same event, side by side - Who skipped what: every key fact checked against every outlet covering the story, so omissions have nowhere to hide - How each outlet frames it: a per-outlet framing breakdown - The full story: one balanced write-up, with every claim linked to its source THE ACTION When coverage crosses the line, NewsCord helps you do something about it. Live campaigns target specific, evidenced failures in reporting. Each one comes with a complaint letter already drafted and the right recipients already picked: editorial standards teams, regulators like IPSO and Ofcom, or the institutions themselves. Review and edit every letter, then send in one go. THE RESPONSES Institutions answer, and NewsCord puts their answers on the record: corrections made, errors removed, demands met. More than 250,000 actions have been taken through NewsCord campaigns, and every response is logged publicly. Your own page tracks each letter you send from submitted to answered. NewsCord Pro (monthly or yearly) unlocks the full app, with a free trial for first-time subscribers. Everything is also available free on newscord.org. Stop reading one side of the story.
