How often is your time wasted by lazy reporting?

As we all know, there are too many things wrong with the news cycle:

  • Race for the quickest headline

  • Waves of low-value posts

  • Simply misleading info and data

For over a year now, our team has been following a new approach to reporting global affairs by focusing on long-term retrospective analysis through hard data.

We have also crafted a style that helps us deliver it concisely, accessibly and neutrally to a growing community of over 20,000 curious minds.

News Breakdown is the next step in our journey.

It is a format that is different from anything offered by mainstream or digital media today.

Every week, we revisit a pivotal geopolitical event of the past year, such as the launch of DeepSeek or the fall of Bashar Assad in Syria.

  • First, we explain the key context and what you need to know about how media approaches the subject.

  • Then, we look at the angles different media presented the event at, focusing on extracting the most valuable learning points.

  • Finally, we take a good look at the evidence and research that emerged since: what were the real consequences? What can we learn from this?

News Breakdown is available to all members. You can start a free trial now for a month of full access.

We believe that this format holds unbeatable value for any news-reader.
