What is News?

What is News?
News is the part of the network designed for posting, sharing, and reading news. Whether you're linking to a headline, writing original analysis, or highlighting a key development, News gives you the tools to engage with the stories shaping the world — in real time.

It’s a space for surfacing timely information, exploring expert perspectives, and contributing your own voice to the ongoing conversation around current events, culture, policy, and more.

 
News Posts
There are three main types of posts on News:

Headline Posts — short, linkable updates focused on a single event, fact, or source
Articles — original writing, essays, and analysis
Reposts — re-sharing content with your own context or commentary
Each post is tied to a Topic or Subtopic — like Politics, Media, or Tech — to keep everything clearly organized and easy to find.

 
Posting to News
Anyone on the network can post to News. You can use it to:

Share breaking news or developing stories
Post links with commentary or summaries
Write original content or opinion pieces
Help others discover relevant coverage
News is built around clarity, focus, and timeliness — it’s where you go to contribute something relevant and informative.

 
Discovering Content
News is structured by Topics and Subtopics, not by personal feeds. This makes it easy to browse what's being said on specific issues — from broad categories like Business or Science to focused areas like Elections or Space Policy.

Follow Topics to build your feed, track developing stories, or keep up with the latest perspectives in fields you care about.
