Upward News

Today's Lead Story

The story everyone's covering — and why the coverage looks so different.

6 min read · This morning's edition

We break down what the left is saying, what the right is saying, and what's actually true — so you walk away informed, not inflamed.

What the left is saying

A fair summary of the strongest progressive arguments and framing on the day's biggest story.

What the right is saying

A fair summary of the strongest conservative arguments and framing on the same story.

Upward's take on the story

Our non-partisan breakdown of what's actually true, so you can form your own opinion.

01

We read everything

Our team scans hundreds of sources across the political spectrum every single day.

02

We strip the spin

We separate fact from framing and highlight where each side agrees and disagrees.

03

You get the full picture

One email, five minutes, every side of the story — so you can think for yourself.

LEFT-LEANING

"Landmark bill delivers relief to millions amid fierce opposition."

CENTER

"Congress passes new spending bill after months of negotiation."

RIGHT-LEANING

"Costly spending bill rushed through despite mounting concerns."

The Upward News newsletter is my favorite email of the day. When it arrives, I stop what I'm doing and dive in. For the first time in a long time I enjoy reading the news again.

Most of my news consumption makes me feel like I'm getting yelled at. Upward News reduces the temperature and gives me information in a relaxed, level-headed way from a variety of perspectives. It's pretty rare that reading the news makes me calmer. But Upward News makes me calmer. It makes me feel like I can take a breath.

Upward News is restoring my trust in news and media. Any good argument looks at both sides and digests an objective viewpoint for its viewers. Upward News does this in every report.

Upward News helps me be a better citizen -- understanding the facts of the day's most pressing issue, understanding it from multiple perspectives, and learning about issues that might otherwise slip by me. It's my daily must-read.
