Transform the ocean of news into useful information.
Actually Understand News Coverage
Explore the key topics in a story. Get a left-wing, center, and right-wing opinion. Learn which outlets and countries are publishing the most.
Find Information That Matters Fast
Cut through the noise to find relevant information. Filter articles by country, outlet and political slant. Find out the people and places mentioned most. Who’s tweeting what. What videos are out there and more.
Burst Your Social Media News Bubble
Your bubble might be cosy. But it’s not helping you understand the world. Nupinion is the anti-personalisation news algorithm. We don’t restrict the news you see to the sources you like. Why? Because it’s important to challenge your ideas and recognise what’s out there.
Want To Try It Out?
A picture’s worth a thousand words but a prototype’s worth a thousand pictures. Take Nupinion Beta for a spin. Remember, its sources and features are very limited. The real Nupinion will be way more powerful. Think typewriter compared to quantum computer.

Information ain’t actually free.
Imagine our excitement the day we started connecting sources to Nupinion. A new way to explore news! Imagine our disappointment when we realised the cost. The more people use it the more expensive it becomes. That’s why we need you. We even drew you two complex graphs to explain why.
Our funding goal is the bare minimum. The more we get, the better we can make Nupinion! Your support will fund the following in order:
Three news junkies turned friends.
We met several years ago at the University of Oxford. We studied very different things: international relations, statistical genetics, and computational biology. We certainly didn’t cross paths in our departments but we forged a bond out of a common desire. To build a better way to explore and engage with news.
Since then, we’ve been working in our own fields to support ourselves. We collaborate on Nupinion in our own time. Your support will help us improve our servers and might even let us develop this full time. We believe our combined skills and experience put us in a great position to build smarter news tools for digital citizens everywhere.
