Newsy: The News Is Broken, But We Can Fix It

It’s old news that news consumers shield themselves from pesky dissenting viewpoints by patronizing only those outlets which present a comfortably conforming world view. The right religiously watches Fox News and the left MSNBC, a pattern that tends to emphasize differences rather than the things we have in common - especially when it comes to politics. The web and iPhone service Newsy, now in beta, hopes to help remedy the situation by creating short, original video clips with their own reporters highlighting how various sources reported the same news item. The sources comprise a gamut of news organizations and blogs around the world, including CNN, Al-Jazeera, BBC, ABC, The New York Times and Fox News.
