The problem

Instagram and TikTok are optimised for likes and views, not news.

75% of young people get news from platforms built for entertainment. Where engagement matters more than truth, and a blue tick costs £11.99/month.

  1. 01

    Algorithms promote engagement, not truth

    Outrage is prioritised over careful reporting. The platform rewards it because engagement drives ad revenue. Accuracy is irrelevant to the algorithm.

  2. 02

    Verification is a subscription fee

    A blue tick proves nothing about expertise or credibility. Conspiracy theorists have the same badge as a Reuters correspondent. It costs £11.99/month.

  3. 03

    News competes with entertainment

    A BBC investigation sits between a cooking reel and a meme. News was never designed to fight for attention alongside dance videos and cat clips.

  4. 04

    Echo chambers polarise

    The algorithm feeds you more of what you already believe. Communities form in isolation. Trust collapses. Division deepens. Nobody sees the other side.

  5. 05

    Comment sections are full of hate

    Every story turns into a pile-on. Abuse and bad faith crowd out the people who actually know the subject. Anonymity means nobody answers for any of it.

  6. 06

    Good news is spread thin, and mostly written

    The reporting worth your time is scattered across a dozen apps, sites and newsletters — and nearly all of it is text. Nothing gathers it in one place, in the format current audiences actually use.

The solution

A new home for news.

nuce is a platform where only verified journalists, experts, and creators can post short-form news video. No algorithm. Multiple perspectives. Built exclusively for news.

Four tiers. Published criteria.

Each tier earns a distinct badge. Application only — applicants are assessed against these criteria, and are limited to posting within their own area of knowledge and experience.

Journalists

Press card, NCTJ, NUJ, or someone who works at a mainstream news outlet. The backbone of the platform.

Experts

University professors, think tank analysts, and qualified professionals in their field.

Officials

MPs, councillors, and public office holders. Labelled as institutional, not independent.

Creators

Established independent social-first news creators with a track record of news content.

Your Edition
