The news business ecosystem is broken.
We have a solution.

The News Project has created a world-class suite of technology and tailored services to address the critical need for sustainable business models in the news marketplace.

Our mission: To empower journalists, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and investors to launch high-impact news properties rapidly and operate them successfully.

The News Project solution integrates best-of-breed content, audience and revenue tools that a typical news venture would assemble separately at far greater cost in time, effort and dollars.
