Yet another news source?

Here’s what one expert had to say….

Ashleigh Banfield

Veteran journalist, News Nation

"I’m getting a little tired of these news silos out there. They say they’re news but they are philosophy wrapped in headlines. The Factual has made it their mission to let consumers know what they’re reading, where there’s bias, where there’s ill-equipped expertise, where there are thin sources. This is great!"

"Best way to get all the news I need, without drowning myself in news."

"I hate being distracted by the news cycle. I wanted to read critical news once a day and be aware of the bias inherent in all reporting. Boom, the Factual. I have sanity, mental health, and awareness of critical issues with a 15 minute morning email and read. Thanks."

About
The Factual

We love to read the news. But in the age of clickbait and biased news, we lost confidence in which stories and sources to trust.

So we decided to apply what we learned at Stanford and IIT Madras to restore faith in the news.
