Newsy – Have you ever heard or read a news story covered by multiple sources? I guess the answer would be yes. In that case, you have probably noticed that each resource tells the same story quite differently, emphasizing different aspects according to varying agendas, political views and rating of news providers. The result is that more often than not, the reader (you) becomes a passive consumer of information who lacks the tools to fully understand the story from all possible angles. The Newsy team has identified this problem and now offers a wonderful (and extremely fair) solution – a short News video summarizing the news story by paying close attention to unique perspectives and in-depth analysis of the differences between coverage parties.
