We are the WorldWideWeb News editorial team.
We run a newsroom, not an advertising business. We choose the stories, put them in order and send you to the publisher who wrote them — on a page that simply works, whatever you are reading on.
Who we are
We are the editorial desk of WorldWideWeb. Our work is selection and arrangement: every morning we look across the wires of thirty-eight publishers — BBC, CNN, CBS, NPR, Sky, France 24, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, The New York Times, CNBC, MarketWatch, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, TechCrunch, Ars Technica, The Verge, Wired, Motor1, Car and Driver, Electrek and more — and decide what a reader should see first.
We do not write the articles and we do not pretend to. Every headline opens the original story on the publisher's own site, with their name on it.
Built for your screen
Our pages support phones, tablets and desktop computers alike. However large or small your screen is, the layout reshapes itself: headlines stay readable, photographs keep their place, columns fold into one, and nothing is pushed off the edge where you cannot reach it. You never have to pinch and zoom to read a sentence, and you never have to rotate the phone to find a button.
Search that searches everything
The search box at the top of the front page does not only filter the page you happen to be looking at. Type a word — tesla, bitcoin, election — press enter, and we search every story in the newsroom, from every desk, including the ones from last week. Results are paged like everything else here, so you can keep going until you find what you meant.
No advertising. None.
Our website carries no advertising of any kind: no banners, no interstitials, no autoplaying video with the sound on, no "continue reading" box over the paragraph you were in the middle of, no newsletter window that appears when you move the mouse. The page is clean, quiet and easy to understand, so you always know what you are looking at and where you are on it.
We also do not put tracking pixels or third-party analytics scripts on the page. Nothing here follows you to another site.
The problem with news on a phone
Reading the news on a phone has become a fight. A banner covers the headline, a pop-up covers the paragraph, a chat bubble covers the menu, the text column is three words wide, and half the screen is occupied by something that is not the story. People give up — not because they stopped caring about the news, but because the page would not let them read it.
We built this site to end that. One column that fits the screen, headlines you can actually read, pictures that load only when you reach them, a market tape you can swipe instead of a wall of numbers, and pages you can turn instead of an endless scroll. Because news should be news.
Where the news comes from, and where it cannot
Every story, photograph and video here is supplied by the publisher through their public feed. That means not all of it can be displayed in every country: where a publisher or its media servers are blocked by the network you are using, that story, image or video player will not load and parts of the page may look incomplete. The headlines, the links and the market data are served by us and stay available everywhere.
