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. When I first joined the team, I was amazed with Newsphere and it’s potential to revolutionize the way we consume news. 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.
