About
InPress was founded to fix what today’s information systems have broken. As algorithms optimized for speed and outrage have weakened trust in media and eroded real connection, our team set out to build something different.
We believe journalism should be accountable, rewarding, and connective rather than noisy, polarizing, or biased. InPress turns high-quality reporting into a shared daily experience that turns a healthy media diet into a personally and socially enriching experience.
Built by journalists, technologists, and product thinkers who have lived inside modern media and platform systems, InPress makes the veggies of facts more delicious to consume than the junk food of doomscrolls - salvaging the relevancy of factual information in the process.
