About OpenNews
Breaking down paywalls while supporting quality journalism
Our Story
OpenNews was born from a simple frustration: the growing number of paywalls blocking access to important news and information. We believe that staying informed shouldn't require dozens of subscriptions or compromise your privacy.
Our browser extension provides smart summaries from alternative sources while working to establish partnerships with publishers to ensure journalists are fairly compensated for their work.
What We Do
OpenNews automatically detects paywalls and provides comprehensive article summaries compiled from multiple alternative news sources. This gives you the full picture without the subscription fatigue.
We're actively building partnerships with news organizations to provide direct access to premium content while ensuring fair compensation for quality journalism.
