Building a modern media ecosystem where identity, purpose, and responsibility come first
In today's digital world, where everyone has a platform but not everyone has a purpose, it's harder than ever for real content creators to be heard - and even harder to be trusted. Journo-Lists was created by NewsX, a UK-registered Community Interest Company, to change that.
We believe the future of journalism lies in individuals, not institutions. Legacy media still has an important role in distribution - but the responsibility for creation, credibility, and accountability should rest with those who publish under their own name.
Creating a system built by journalists for the realities of modern reporting
Every journey into content creation begins with a first step - and that step often involves the need for others to take you seriously. Whether it's requesting access to an event, securing an interview, or gaining entry to restricted spaces, doors that were once opened freely for journalists are now increasingly locked behind gatekeeping and bureaucracy.
A system built by journalists, for the realities of modern reporting. One that evolves with the people it represents. One that makes the first step count. During a meeting at the United Nations in Vienna, the head of press accreditation told us candidly: "no single press card today is trusted enough to validate a media candidate without additional checks."
Your professional identity, your public signature, and the foundation of your editorial credibility
Your byline isn't just a name - it's how you'll be known across the NewsX ecosystem and beyond. Every byline in our system is unique. Once chosen, it can only be changed with valid justification and approval - because building trust takes consistency.
