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.
