TRULY GLOBAL NEWS
FOUNDED BY GLOBAL CITIZENS
What is uni-T?
uni-T is a politically-neutral news and information network that aggregates and curates media content from around the world, creating bulletins and programs available on the uni-T app and website. We offer Membership to our subscribers, engaging closely with those Members to ensure transparency and openness in our editorial decision-making process and content curation. Through our Membership funding model, uni-T remains free of government or “big business” money and control.
uni-T is a neutral window on the world’s news media.
Our mission statement is to address the growing trust failure in news media by providing a clearer perspective through diverse, relevant news content from a wide range of media outlets around the world. We show the big picture of news stories.
Our Vision is one-click access to diverse, international angles on issues in the news.
Our slogan is Truly global news...Founded by global citizens.
Why uni-T?
Media owners - whether governments or big business - control and shape the message. They become a big factor in deciding the information you get and can then influence what you think. Plus, AI and algorithms are widely used to control content - creating an “echo chamber” - the same perspective on a story that just gets louder and louder until you hear nothing else.

What the Fake?
After 35 years in the broadcasting business, that covered launching three major global networks and watching the world of mainstream media turn upside down, both in terms of technology and the way people consume it, Riz Khan’s new book, "What The Fake?! From Breaking News to Broken Media" candidly explores the changes that have shaped our news consumption. With some fun and some disturbing anecdotes & observations, you will get a rather unique peek behind the curtain that hides the news machinery.
