About

Affinity Group Publishing (AGP) is a global online news initiative by Newsmatics, Inc., a Washington, DC-based news tech company, purposefully structured to fill news deserts.

Using proprietary intelligent software and systems, our media analysts and content moderators bring you news from thousands of curated and labeled sources. We strive to present links to all of the world's news on a single platform, with sources labeled to give you perspective and news filtered by geography and industry. The labels are important for identifying and filtering out fake news and propaganda. Click here to learn more about how we moderate content.

We also accept local press releases from local organizations, institutions, and individuals. These are vetted by trained content moderators to ensure transparency and follow strict editorial guidelines.

We live in a time when there are not enough journalists employed to write all the stories that need to be written, yet there is news happening every day that has a local impact. There are too few publications and too few journalists. And many publications are simply extensions of corporate interests.

This platform of 3,900 moderated publications offers the kind of hybrid news service that is needed in the current post-truth era.

It’s an attempt to build a bridge between truth and fiction.
