Problem statement

Large media companies are losing readership from terrible stories, notable bias, no content diversity, and a complete lack of trust in what they publish for their readers. People want "Needle-moving" journalism, not opinion pieces, click-bait headlines, or politically influenced stories. With over 10 Million data points every minute, our journalists know how to read intelligence reports, break down events in real-time in regions all over the world, and decipher information to create the most in-depth and original reporting possible. News you need to know, now.

We are no longer in Beta! Atlas News is live and launched!

2022 was a year of building. We partnered with some huge players in the digital publishing game and built an impressive tech stack.

With $0 spent on marketing, we have seen a steady increase in monthly unique viewers and page views, as well as a steady increase in subscribers. We are masters at building a community and are raising our seed round to capitalize on the demand we are recieving.

August 2022

We have hired two ex-VICE producers!

Atlas News+ is our-on-demand streaming service that combines full-length documentaries, docu-series, podcasts, and interactive interviews that give our community more than just headlines. We project this will be a big value add to customers’ subscription and a large eyeball-generator. To lead this department for us, we have hired two ex-VICE producers, Dylan and Christian, who have extensive experience in original story creation. We are excited to build Atlas News+ and are confident these two can deliver massive value to our brand.
