What we do
By fusing game-changing technology, premium content and a world-class editorial team, we’re reinventing news – for publishers, brands and their audiences.
We license and curate full text articles, photos and video from sources like The Economist, The Guardian, Reuters and Forbes, helping publishers and brands create customized news experiences to drive traffic and build new revenue.
It’s easy to buy and easy to manage – with 1 platform, 1 license and 1 bill.
Why
The business model for high-quality journalism is broken. We’re re-inventing it.
By sourcing and licensing trusted content across a broad range of subjects and perspectives, NewsCred delivers millions of dollars of revenue back into the news ecosystem, offering a crucial industry the means not just to survive, but thrive.
Most importantly, we’re raising standards. We license complete articles, pay our publishers and always attribute stories to the journalists who create them.
