About Newsreel:

In the age of social media, Newsreel was built to give libraries a healthier alternative and fight back against the constant pull of cheap clicks and endless feeds.

If you’re looking to equip your community with tools for media literacy, civic engagement, and healthier phone habits, Newsreel is designed for you. With swipeable story stacks, quizzes, and polls— all written and vetted by trained journalists — Newsreel helps students, patrons, and adult learners build a daily news habit that lasts.
