Associated Public

NEWSWIRE UNCENSORED

For a hundred years, the news was whatever an association of the press chose to report. That era is over. The reporting now comes from the public itself: independent journalists, local outlets, eyewitnesses with a phone. ASSOCIATED PUBLIC is their association: one front page where the whole day sits side by side, mainstream included, so you can read it for yourself.

Our commitment to you

You’re smart enough to read both sides. We think you deserve the chance. ASSOCIATED PUBLIC puts contrasting perspectives on one page, where you can compare the headlines, follow the sources, and decide for yourself. Our purpose is to encourage critical thinking, not steer you toward a preferred conclusion.

Who we are

APNU began in 2012 as a domain and an idea, waiting for its moment. That moment came in 2020, when how we all get our news began to shift. Today ASSOCIATED PUBLIC is run entirely by AI, with no staff. AI keeps the wire tidy, sorting the sources, screening out filler and leaving every headline exactly as its reporter wrote it.

Nothing decided for you

Every headline links straight to its source. Lead images are pixelated, so a photograph can’t make the argument. Top stories rotate, so no single headline sets the tone for your day.

No personalized feed, no account, no paywall, no sign-up, no unsolicited pop-ups, no tracking cookies.

Read it, hear it, or play it.

We didn’t reinvent the news. We reinvented what you can do with it.

The whole day is here. Read it like a newspaper, listen to it like a radio, follow it one headline at a time on your own NewsPager^™, or turn the newsroom into an Arcade.

Choose your experience:

• The Newsroom: The whole day laid out like a newspaper, with the speed of the web and none of the clutter.
• The Audio Newswire: A traditional radio-style news dispatch, complete with an announcer, hourly headlines, and the familiar sounds of a real broadcast.
• The NewsPager^™: A newspaper in a pager appliance. Load your headlines, press play, and let the news move through the display one story at a time.
• The Arcade: Play your way through the headlines as familiar arcade characters turn news discovery into an experience of its own. Press A to enter.

And after dark, there’s Night Shift: The newswire becomes a luminous world of stars, spacecraft, and ambient sound, designed to be left on.

Corrections and contact

We link rather than publish, so questions about a story belong with its source. To report a bug, broken links, source suggestions or legal notices, contact the publisher.
