In the age of the never-ending news cycle, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in negativity while thirsting for perspective. Headlines feel more like shouting matches than explanations. Media outlets and politicians obfuscate issues and fuel division. Frustration is far more attainable than education on what’s important.
We wanted to build something that fixes that. Something that stays afloat in the sketchy seas of the digital info-space.
So we’re launching The Insight, a new premium content offering that answers your questions on the issues that matter to you — brought to you by the world’s most balanced news team.
Most editors and journalists tell you what they think matters. The Insight is more of a dialogue. Each week, we take a single, major issue – the kind of complex topic that usually gets reduced to a soundbite or social media post – and we let you take the lead.
You ask the questions. And our news team answers them.
Our team is intentionally multipartisan. We work relentlessly to deliver you the full picture: the nuances, the context, and the details that usually get left out because they don’t fit a specific narrative.
Here’s the schedule:
For Free Members: Every Friday, you’ll get a free preview of The Insight so you can stay in the loop. On the first Friday of every month, we’ll unlock the full, uncut edition for you. If you like it, become a Sustaining Member to get every edition in full.
For Sustaining Members: You are the engine that keeps AllSides running. In exchange for your support, you’ll receive the full edition of The Insight every Friday morning in your email inbox, and (very soon) full access to the website editions as well.
But why now?
People are sick of being told how to feel. They want to make up their own mind, on their own terms.
AllSides is a place where people come for a greater sense of connection. We give people the chance to better understand the world – and each other – by breaking down their information bubbles and partisan walls. It’s only right that we’d be the ones to build this product, and to work with our readers to make it uniquely useful.
The Insight replaces the noise with clarity, and the outrage with comprehension. Read our first two editions:

Henry A. Brechter is the editor-in-chief of AllSides. He has a Center bias.
