Why Another’s News exists
In an age of fragmented realities, there is a dire need for empathy driven news. Here’s what Another’s News is about – and what we’re doing to answer that need.
The problem
We’re all reading different version of reality
Two people can read the same headline and walk away with completely different emotions, concerns, and conclusions – not because one is wrong, but because their lives are different. News has always been personal. We just haven’t had a way to see that clearly.
News tells us what happened – but not how it affects different people. We live in the same world, but not the same reality.
• Headlines feel disconnected from our lives.
• It’s hard to understand how others experience the same events.
• We lack tools that build empathy, not outrage.
Polarization isn’t just about politics. It’s about the disconnect between lived experiences. When housing policy is announced, a renter and a landlord don’t just disagree – they’re living in genuinely different realities, with different stakes, fears, and hopes.
Most news tools try to fix this by rating bias or aggregating sources. That doesn’t solve the real problem: we need to understand each other’s experience, not just debate the facts.
Another’s News helps overcome these barriers by generating The Three Empathies:
1. Political Empathy: Bridging the Political divide
2. National Empathy: Understanding fellow citizens
3. International Empathy: Overcoming international barriers

Our Mission
Empathy-driven news understanding
Another’s News exists to create a new category of information tool – one that doesn’t just tell you what happened but helps you understand how it is relevant to someone like you and someone living a very different life than yours.
We believe that deeper understanding is the foundation of a healthier society. Not agreement – understanding. Another’s News is designed to plant that seed, one headline at a time.
From the Founder
One night in early 2026, I found myself thinking about everything AI was being used for – deepfakes, algorithmically amplified outrage, news feeds that showed two people from completely different realities. And I kept coming back to the same question: what if the same technology being used to divide us could be used to close the gap instead?
My background is in psychology and public administration – the study of how people think, and how institutions either bring them together or push them apart. I’d seen plenty of organizations using AI to fight bias, to flag misinformation, to rate sources left or right. That work matters. But it felt reactive. I wanted something intentional – a tool that didn’t just warn you about division but actively asked you to see through someone else’s eyes.
That’s the idea behind Another’s News. Not a news source, not a fact-checker – something I think of as genuinely new: a way to make every headline both personal and transformational. I started planning it in February 2026, and I’ve been building it since as a GMU graduate student and full-time intern. AI made it possible. The state of the world made it feel necessary.

The road ahead
We’re building toward a future where Another’s News is part of every school curriculum, every newsroom, and every person’s daily information diet. A future where understanding someone else’s perspective is as easy as reading a headline.
We’re actively bringing together advisors in AI ethics, media literacy, and civic technology to make sure we build this responsibly and at scale.
