Symby is a news and knowledge platform to help you stay informed and empowered with balanced coverage.
Get started
The internet has become unreliable
Trust in news is low
Half of Americans believe news organizations deliberately mislead them, as traditional and new media compete, becoming more fragmented and sensational.
Search results are getting worse
Fact-checking and knowledge gathering is harder as search engines fill with spam, ads, and SEO-optimized sites prioritizing clicks over quality.
Diverse perspectives are harder to find
While 75% of people want diverse news perspectives, it's rare to find balanced news. Social media, now a main news source, keeps users in echo chambers.
A better way to stay informed
We're optimistic that there's a better way.
Symby helps you uncover diverse perspectives from journalists and content creators—from traditional news to new media—and provides the background knowledge you need to stay informed.
