Given all the talk with new the platforms launching recently, I want to share a project. It's called Forth (no relation to the programming language), and it's a news feed for news. Anyone can make an account and curate their own feed through follows, but it's populated exclusively by journalists.
Most Americans get at least some of their news from social media, even though they don't trust it. We want to take the good (formatting, brevity, ability to follow who you want), and mix it with real fact-based reporting.
Our reporting partners cover all sorts of topics, from local news around the US, to space, chemistry, politics, everything. We're still ramping up, but already have journalists ranging from names you might see on Good Morning America to local radio and newspapers, and all sorts of verticals.
It's not social media. It's almost anti-social. No spam, no misinformation, no hate speech. Just headlines.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
