Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NewsX and our Press Cards
NewsX is a British-registered Community Interest Company (CIC). We exist for one purpose: journalism.
Because news is not meant to be a profit machine. Our revenues cover the costs of independent journalism. All income goes to paying editorial teams. Managerial and admin salaries are capped. No shareholders, no investors to please — just journalism.
Search engines and social media should have made news gathering easier. Instead, their dominance has polarised the media landscape and distorted priorities. NewsX works to reclaim technology for journalism — maximising its potential while resisting manipulation.
We see AI as a tool, not a replacement. Human editors still decide what matters. Our focus is on original content — the kind of work that AI will ultimately need as a source.
Membership fees are set transparently to cover operating costs. Additional services — such as a physical "Newshound" press card — may be offered as part of evolving membership tiers.
