About

We write about the most significant news stories around the world that you would not encounter in your regular media consumption.

Between your national news media coverage and stories attracting global attention, plenty of impactful situations are left behind. We put them at the forefront and make international news easier to know.

Those stories are not yet under the eyes of the world but are the ones that help us understand it better. We develop and explain the stories as if our audience was always international.

To do that, we scan news and monitor stories worldwide with our proprietary tool. And the best part is that you can use our world news scanner. Do you want to hire our expertise? Don’t hesitate to contact us with your needs so we can discuss the right solution for you.

We do not display content based on your suggested interests or past behavior.

We publish news stories that are not covered globally but can resonate with an international audience to understand better a country, region, or world.

We cover five large categories:

• Business
• Culture & sport
• Health & Science
• Politics
• Society

We publish news that has borderless subject matters like environmental issues, gender equity, digital economy that an international audience can relate to it. International news is the core focus of Newsendip, even more so when it involves multinational companies or politics between countries that are only covered nationally or regionally. It can also be important national stories that help understand a country better. We report on news that could also happen somewhere else.

We aim to have neutral coverage, with the primary purpose of explaining what is happening to an audience who is not familiar with the news story. Not all countries and cultures are similar, and not everything is transposable everywhere. But we cover news based on the fact it is so significant that an international audience should know about it or that people can relate to the news in their own lives. We publish stories not because we agree with them or want to promote ideas but because they can help us better understand and reflect on our world.

• Serendipity

Have you heard of that word? It can be overused sometimes but the idea behind serendipity is a fortunate but unexpected discovery.

For example, we believe that users scrolling on social media want to be entertained, and be fed with news that they don’t know about. They are open to finding something new even if they don’t know what they will discover.

Moreover, have you ever browsed a newspaper or read something you are not usually interested in?

We believe this is a call for serendipity. You can enjoy serendipity on this page right now.

We believe that’s what makes you intrigued by something when you sense that you’ve just encountered something new or interesting you didn’t expect. We’d be glad it happens on this website.

By the way, the word ‘serendipity’ comes from the 1557 book The Three Princes of Serendip in which the princes are able to describe a missing camel that they never saw, thanks to their sagacity and a succession of fortunate accidents. Serendip is the old name of Sri Lanka.

• Discoverability

Have you ever thought there is the same news everywhere? If so, keep this website in mind.

We bet you would be interested in the echo chamber theory and the side effects of the same information being repeated everywhere.

We want to be where you break that circle, the place where you come because you are looking for news you wouldn’t have known otherwise.

On top of that, with so many algorithms trying to understand who you are, there is no room for discoverability anymore.

There is another theory around that: the filter bubble. The concept is that algorithms trying to predict what you like based on your previous behaviors are actually locking you down with the same type of information little by little.

And guess what? Your friends, family or colleagues aren’t much of any help. Your social groups mostly look like you. In fact, we all create our own bubbles, it’s not so much the algorithms at the origin of it, it’s only an amplifier most of the time.

What you have read indicates what you are interested in. But we believe it may not always predict what you will be interested in and want to provide a safe space that still allows you to discover news.

• International

Newsendip is international by essence.

If you agree with the above values, you are probably curious. You already know much about what happens around you and are aware of the biggest headlines.

Most news platforms have a primary domestic audience and would relay information that directly affects you (also called the hierarchy of death). This website will not be similar to your local news media about local information.

But it will bring insights about what most media you use don’t talk about because they don’t necessarily see why it would relate to you.

Because we see a curious mind eager to understand what is going on outside of someone’s immediate world, and learn from it.

Other news media legitimately focus first on what is happening close to their audience, directly affecting them. Not only is it legitimate, but it is also necessary. But we aim to provide news other than based on a geographic scale, and rather focus on subjects that would relate to an international audience wherever it takes place.

You may be a German curious to understand why Norway invests in Ghana’s digital future, a Ghanaian willing to find out why the Australian intelligence agency stops referring to left or right-wing extremism, an Australian surprised to see that the British would likely refer themselves as coming from the working class even if they are not, a British curious about India using Internet access as a political tool, an Indian eager to learn how Mexico tries to reduce junk food next to schools, a Mexican wondering if Italy really faced more poverty in 2020, an Italian amazed at how an Australian animal can produce cubic poop…

• Accessibility

Because we are hoping you can focus on quality content, we try to remove unnecessary features. We want to bring good performances in support of great content.

We aim to be clear but not simple. As such, we will make the best website with a core focus on the user. For instance, our language seeks to be understood by many.

One size doesn’t fit all. It’s hard to satisfy everyone and we can’t. However, we try to meet the more universal needs rather than adding complexity.

We believe in balanced revenue streams.

Do you not want ads? Then it’s fair you pay for the content.

You don’t want to spend money to read on this website (other than your internet connection and the device you already bought for this purpose)? Then it’s fair you receive ads.

Time and efforts spent to provide a service we hope you like deserve to be monetized. If you think this website doesn’t provide good value, you are free not to use it, and our relations stop there. We don’t sell our user’s data anyway. No hard feelings, we will try to be better and welcome you back another time.

Business models only based on advertising revenue can become dependent on external corporations. Business models only based on subscription revenue are vulnerable to please the opinion of their audience.

We want to inform you correctly, and for that, we will need to walk with at least two legs. You will soon have the possibility to choose your preferred way of using Newsendip.

We can also offer our services to companies, large and small, and professionals who want to be better informed. We can replicate the use of our tools meant to cover news and adapt it for business needs. Our editorial coverage is totally independent of this service.

To the surprise of many readers and industry players, Newsendip writes its own articles to make international news accessible to an audience that is not necessarily familiar with the topics and countries covered. But Newsendip is able to unearth such diverse news topics in so many different countries because it relies on an extremely efficient in-house world news tracker.

By tracking news in no less than 70 countries and 20,000 media outlets, this tool allows Newsendip to take the pulse of major events around the world as well as discover weak signals that have not yet crossed borders.

This curation tool is configured to optimize discovery potential. No algorithm, no personal data or past behavior influences the capacity to discover information. Users can follow the news from a country as if they were living there.

To stay true in making news accessible, this tool is even available to everyone. If you wish to know more about our world news tracker, don’t hesitate to discover our offers.

The tool is very popular among journalists to track news, find information and story ideas in many different countries. But it is also perfect for more commercial needs. Freelancers, entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized businesses, marketing and communications departments and salespeople can benefit from the power of news tracking.

We are not interested in knowing all the details of your life since we don’t want to claim this will make our products (the news we publish) any better. Please visit our Privacy policy page for more information.

We don’t show you content based on previous reads or on your profile.

We don’t collect sensitive information or sell our proprietary data to third parties. Advertisers may target you based on the content you read (e.g., remarketing ads as you recently visited the advertiser’s website) or on profiles they built about you.

We don’t really want to know who you are but we want to know who comes to our website. We want to know how many visits and pages the website got. We also want to see where the traffic comes from. We consider it fair use.

We use Google Analytics to track our site performances with anonymized IP addresses. An IP address is pretty much the equivalent of a phone number.

We do our best to verify every piece of information we publish and correct any mistakes we may have made. If you find wrong information or feel something is not accurate, you can email us at contact@newsendip.com.

We want to be transparent on where we find information and provide you with links to sources as much as possible, directly in the post or at the end of the article. We ensure you can clearly identify when a link redirects to a government-related page and when the connection isn’t secure.

When we think a story is outdated and irrelevant, we remove them from the random suggestion features on our site. The story is, however, still accessible on our website.
