Newsreel Media Corp.

Newsreel is a completion-based news platform where readers open, engage, and finish. No infinite scroll. No algorithm. Users get a daily stack of interactive stories from vetted journalists, answer quizzes and polls, build streaks, and leave feeling informed instead of drained. We call it guided discovery.

Every creator on Newsreel is credentialed and verified. In a landscape flooded with AI-generated content, we're building the trust layer that social platforms structurally cannot: disclosed affiliations, human-verified sources, and transparent editorial standards. Stories link out to creators' own platforms. Newsreel is additive to their distribution, never competitive.

The model is working. 115K+ stories completed. 35% month-one retention, 3-5x the industry average, sustained for six months. 51 journalists publishing. $35K ARR from 200+ university classrooms and public libraries, with partners including NYU, Northwestern, and Penn State. We're now launching a creator marketplace where journalists and news organizations publish, grow their audience, and earn revenue inside a daily-use product.

Newsreel won NAMLE's 2025 Resource of the Year and is backed by American Public Media Group. Founder Jack Brewster is a Forbes 30 Under 30 journalist who broke the story behind the viral false claim that Haitian migrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
