About the project
Africa Unfiltered is a local-first African news discovery app for people who want to keep up with many news sources around Africa, start with headlines local to their country, and understand how stories connect.
Near
The experience starts with country, city, and community signals before expanding outward.
Many
Africa Unfiltered is designed to compare reporting across publishers, places, and categories.
Wide
Local stories can reveal broader patterns across politics, business, culture, climate, and sport.
The mission
The app is being built for curious readers who want to see nearby headlines, discover reporting from other African countries, combine many sources in one place, and follow stories that can lead to civic awareness and social change.
Country and location signals help people start with what is relevant around them.
Multiple publishers and categories reduce the single-source view of a story.
Coverage can reveal problems, progress, opportunity, and the people shaping change.
