Ground.News

Transparency in news, unveiled

Ground.News, UX100 leader in News

Ground News places coverage of the same story side by side so a reader can see the spread of a narrative instead of inheriting one outlet’s frame.

Design

Bias, ownership, and factuality are visual objects, not footnotes. Comparison is the layout, which makes the editorial point without a lecture.

Impact

Readers get a wider field of view on a story. The product pushes media literacy into the interface itself.

How it works

A story collects sources, and the interface groups how those sources cover it. The app keeps that comparison readable on a small screen.

Why it won

News UX usually optimizes for the next click. Ground News optimizes for a reader who wants to see the room.

Journal

The case above is the record. The blog has a separate essay for each year Ground.News led News.
