AP News Discussion

We just had a call with a representative of A.P News to discuss what challenges they face when trying to sift through all of the news headlines and what methods they currently use to spread their content on the web. This talk has helped us refine our target market and continue to improve the Newsphere. Exciting things to come!

Development Update

I'm excited to announce that we've taken on some new team members, and have really improved both the front and backend! When choosing which news sources to pull from, we decided to use AP News, as we believed their reputation as a relatively non-biased news agency would be important for building our model. We're also introducing a new feature to the Newsphere which we're calling the timeline, which enables users to view all articles within a particular edge within a certain period of time.

Joining the Newsphere

My name is Brandon Musto and I joined the Newsphere team in the beginning of September, 2019. As a student at Brandeis University studying business and history, I have always had a fascination with how both areas intersect.

A big part of making Newsphere work as best as possible is understanding what the market is and who would benefit the most from our website, which I hope to help with over the course of the next few months.

Continue the Conversation with us on Slack

If you're particularly interested in Newsphere and the work going on behind the scenes, we welcome you to join us on Slack. We actively use Slack to solicit feedback and converse with users in a much more intimate way than what is possible via email. Our goal is to foster a strong community of individuals who care about the news and how it is delivered. We believe a great way to build this is via conversations and story telling.

If you're interested in joining us, you can continue the conversation on Slack at the following link:

Hopefully we'll be chatting with some of you soon!
