Backbeat News is on the air
An independent desk, a public feed, and a standing invitation to anyone with a story the big outlets walked past.
Backbeat News starts today with a small promise: every story here carries a byline, a date, and a link you can check.
We are not a wire service and we are not a campaign. We are a desk. Contributors send us what they have. We check it, we run it, and we put it in a feed that anyone can subscribe to without an account.
What runs here
- Dispatches. First-person reports from people inside a story.
- Justice. Courts, records, accountability.
- Politics. Campaigns and the machinery around them.
- World. Humanitarian work and the people doing it.
- Culture. What the rest of it sounds like.
How to follow
Point any feed reader at backbeatnews.com/feed.xml. Full text, no algorithm.
How to contribute
Send a draft and your sources to the desk. If it holds up, it runs under your name and you keep the copyright.
More soon.
