What Company Is Offering:
The Issue is a non-partisan blog newspaper that provides a window to an emerging world of diverse and informed opinions. We cull the blogosphere for its wise insights, probing analyses, and diverse perspectives, drawing together a borderless newspaper. By combining the democratization and diversity of new media with the format and editorial standards of traditional news, we hope to offer a hybrid news source that provides the best of both worlds.
How It Works:
Their editorial team handpicks articles that represent the best of the blogosphere. Selected articles are clearly written, intuitively organized, and have theses and make arguments that are supported with well-researched and salient points. No article selection is ever arbitrary or automated. The team handpicks some of the top blog posts each day to produce a comfortably formatted newspaper. Capitalizing on the diversity of perspectives - they show 4 views on a particular Issue each day. This allows them to fight bias and let readers make informed decisions, getting a deep dive into every Issue in a short amount of time.
How Is It Different:
All reputable news sources fight the editorial bias in roughly the same way; deliver appropriately critical news in a “just the facts” format. But even without the inherent agenda of large corporations, this approach to objectivity is rather futile. No matter how fact-based the account, language and context always tell a story of their own.
An understanding of current events cannot be two-dimensional. The way most news is delivered creates exactly that dynamic. The reader’s point of reference interacts with the delivered facts. Those facts then filter through the reader’s biases, presumptions, and context base to effectively reinforce what he already knew – that he was right. Yes, new information has come in, but the level of understanding has not changed.
