About Abridge News


After we select an opinion and place it on the spectrum, a team member carefully reads the article and pulls out the three most salient points to form a bullet point list that is quick and easy to read.

Choose from a subset of choices that includes things like: "I strongly support this," "This doesn't paint the full picture," "I agree with some, but not all." After reacting, see a summarized breakdown of other users' reactions to see if others agree with your interpretation.

Then, our team combs the internet for four unique and interesting op-ed pieces rooted in fact, albeit sometimes a subset of facts.

- Then, click into our "Opinion Spectrum" to see four arguments representing different sides of the debate.

We sort and categorize opinion pieces based on the substance of the arguments made, NOT the publication's reputation.

For each topic, our team writes a set of relevant facts that aim to provide a user with a brief objective framework.

- Search our archive to find topics related to specific terms like: Immigration, Mueller, LeBron James, etc.

For example, a conservative op-ed from a traditionally liberal publication would be placed on the right side of our spectrum.

At Abridge News, our mission is to increase empathy and critical thinking in the world by promoting diverse perspectives.

Each day, our team (of humans) picks an interesting, debate-worthy topic.

We arrange these topics side-by-side in our app, and you engage with them via our "spectrum" feature.

These op-eds make arguments on different sides of a debate.

These facts help our users get up-to-date before engaging with opinions.

- Express your own view by reacting to each opinion piece.

Abridge is Great!

Makes today’s headline story easily digestible while presenting a range of responses...to help keep readers get out of their news bubbles. Because you can rate each opinion/position, it’s interactive and fun—Abridge shows you what others have voted after you rate your agreement or disagreement with an article’s position.
Clearly a hard-working team of go-getters, the Abridge staff has worked successfully to transition from email and FB versions to AbridgeNews. Congratulations, and keep up this much-needed news reporting!

A necessity!!!

Every American should own Abridge News. It gives multiple perspectives on different issues without having an apparent bias - which is incredibly rare. AbridgeNews helps you build your own opinion on news events rather than just inheriting that of the newspaper or website that you frequently read. I genuinely tell everyone I know to download AbridgeNews .

I hope that in the future Abridge News offers even more frequent coverage of the news!!

This app is what I’ve been looking for

AbridgeNews finally provides news in an unbiased way. I don’t have the time to read multiple articles to understand what the truth is behind stories, and Abridge does that work for me. I love the reader highlights too, because it means I’m not just hearing from a single person or a single view point. It’s easy to navigate and I can read about other topics when I just need a break from politics altogether. AbridgeNews is a keeper

I love this app!

It’s so hard to find sources of unbiased news in this day an age - a source that considers and provides multiple viewpoints and different sides of the story.

Thankfully, with AbridgeNews, I no longer have to worry about biases when learning about news stories. They choose the most important topics of the day and present multiple views points. It’s fantastic. Helps me stay informed when I don’t have enough time to browse through massive articles and newspapers.

Outstanding interactive site with full spectrum of view points!

Abridge News is a succinct site that allows you to stay current in all facets of breaking news to include sports, politics, entertainment and international events. The site gives you the opportunity to give voice to your viewpoints with other viewpoints in a civilized exchange of different ideas. Thanks for this. And the staff constantly improves the site. Also the site is fun and user friendly.

The country needs this app

I’ve been going to the abridge news website for a few months since a friend introduced it to me. I really like the way it presents differing viewpoints. I think it’s important to understand opposing views, even if you don’t agree with them.

AbridgeNews is a nice extension of the website, and adds the ability to get notifications - which is useful because I don’t always visit the site.

Must-read for those seeking well-balanced news

This is a must-download, must-read app for anyone wanting a balanced source of news on today’s most controversial topics. AbridgeNews is easy to use and allows readers to quickly get up to speed on different viewpoints - users can even react to the stories if we feel so called! The Abridge Team is very open and responsive to user feedback. Thanks!

Transparently biased

The concept of AbridgeNews is terrific yet it’s an epic failure in its attempt to be unbiased. By using quotes from Op-Ed’s to show both sides of a topic, the founders/editors reveal their true bias. Do not waste your time on AbridgeNews unless you are only interested in hearing the left leaning opinion and not really interested in having a fact based intellectually challenged representation. Using op-Ed’s is just quoting someone’s opinion. That is not journalism. AbridgeNews could be great if they used researched backed facts about each topic rather than left leaning opinions. I think the makers of AbridgeNews think the American people are stupid. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Best way to read the news! no more echo-chamber

I love that I can easily read articles that cover both the conservative and liberal sides of the media. News outlets today try to claim they are unbiased but let’s face it, it’s hard to find unbiased news. AbridgeNews helps bring varying perspectives on the same piece of news. Now I can find the most pressing political news coverage all in one place!


By


Phenomenal app

Really love this. It’s a great way to stay up-to-date with current events without feeling like you’re stuck inside any one particular political ideology. It summarizes points from across the political spectrum very well and it’s a lot of fun to see the responses people have to the opinions at the bottom of each article. Seems like a game-changer...would love to see more articles!

Great app exposing media opinions

Abridge is a must-have in today's world where journalism no longer means reporting facts, but simply is a means of expressing opinions. From liberal to conservative, the stories reported from wide-ranging media outlets in AbridgeNews allow the user to formulate their OWN opinion, rather than just blindly following one medium. Abridge is not only thought-provoking, it peels the layers to reveal the WHOLE picture. Get AbridgeNews and get informed.

Abridge curation provides user autonomy

I always tell my students that there is no such thing as a totally objective news story, so we have to be aware that biases that exist (regardless of the source). The strength of Abridge is that, rather than just ignoring potential bias, articles’ political leanings are acknowledged, evaluated, and highlighted. This provides users with the agency to think freely and develop their own opinions about issues.

Love the idea and the app

I would like to try to understand all sides of the important stories of our time. When making choices about personal decisions I face I feel I'm better off considering all points of view. Thanks for facilitating a more thoughtful and balanced approach to consuming information and opinions surrounding our current events!

Abridge News

This is a fantastic website to QUICKLY get fully informed - in an easy to read format - on a leading news topic or issue of the day. Get the background info on the issue quickly summarized, the major details of the event or issue, and then read different viewpoints instead of hearing just one side of the issue!


By


Necessary in the age of targeted news articles

Nowadays, it's surprisingly difficult to get a news feed from the websites I visit that hasn't been "curated" for me. It's hard to know the truth when you are being spoon-fed your content. Abridge News helps keeps my sanity by giving a variety of news across the spectrum. I'm now more informed.


By


Great curated list of articles from various perspectives

I’ve always been a bit iffy about the political slant of some of the articles I’ve read, but AbridgeNews provides the proper context for each one. The UI is great, and so is the “user sentiment” part, too, where you get to see what the crowd thinks of the article. Great stuff!


By


Great to use Everyday

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for for years. A quick way to see the most important headlines, with some reasonable differing view points.

This has become the first thing I check in the morning when I wake up.


By


Finally! A comprehensive news source!

I’ve been so frustrated trying to consider the various leanings of all of the news I read every day. AbridgeNews is so refreshing because it gives you all of the angles and perspectives at once. This is an essential app for 2019!


By


So good, actually!

I was skeptical that I would enjoy this. But, now I look at it every day. They actually do a very good job of finding reasonable articles with opposing perspectives. And, I always check out the daily topic to see what’s most in the news. AbridgeNews is good!


By


The first app I open every morning
