Remember when "the news" was just the news? Us too.
Meet Waltr, a news app without pundits, without recommendation algorithms, without sensationalism. News, "just the way it is."
Coming soon.
Why Waltr?
Put simply, Waltr is an attempt to go back to the Walter Cronkite days of journalism - no pundits telling you who to be mad at, no recommendation algorithms deciding what you should read, and no us-versus-them.
Get your news & get on with your life
It used to be that you'd get your morning paper, read whatever articles interested you, and then you moved on with your day. Now? 24/7 clickbait, pundits with endless opinions, all taking place in a world that competes for your attention 24/7. Enough is enough.
No algorithmic control
Let's be clear- we aren't going to let an algorithm tell you what to read, and we sure as hell aren't going to leave such an algorithm unchecked. Our news is triple-checked by humans, and we don't use recommendations.
No sensationalism, just news
Yup, you read that right. No clickbait headlines, no trying to get an emotional response, and no fluff. Just the news as it is. Seriously, everyone's stressed enough- we don't need the news making it worse.
