Australia has joined the list of Western countries banning TikTok from the devices of government officials, citing “advice from intelligence and security agencies.” Other countries who’ve done the same include Canada, the US, UK, Belgium, as well as the E.U.

The news industry’s been under fire for years. Some of the challenges faced include sensationalism, monetization, filter bubbles caused by algorithmic content recommendations, and — most recently — the threat of mass misinformation powered by AI.

Enter informed news, an app aiming to change the way people consume journalism by curating top content from trusted publishers around the world under one subscription.

Headlines hand-picked by experts: Benjamin Mateev, co-founder and CEO of Informed, says: "We believe human curation is the key to diverse news, so our editors and experts read hundreds of articles every day, selecting and suggesting only the best."

This focus on human curation is a deliberate response to the rise of AI-driven content recommendations, which have been criticized for perpetuating misinformation and echo chambers.

One subscription, multiple publishers: informed news partners with a roster of trusted publishers, including The Financial Times, The Economist, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal.

With a single subscription, readers can access diverse information and perspectives without having to navigate multiple feeds or websites.

A personalized daily brief, delivered: informed's personalized Daily Brief offers a digestible roundup of the day's most important articles, tailored to individual interests. Users can read, listen, share, or save articles for later, making it easy to stay informed on their own terms.

In celebration of its launch, informed news is offering a double-length free trial for the community. Give it a try and leave a review to let the team know your feedback.
