Overview

Knowhere uses machine-learning technology to generate news stories and offers readers left-leaning, right-leaning and impartial versions of the same story. Articles produced by the models are reviewed by human journalists; there are eight journalists on the team, making up about half of Knowhere’s headcount. The site focuses on corroborated facts drawn from reputable publications and aims to provide an indisputably trustworthy source across political aisles. CEO and Editor-in-Chief Nathaniel Barling leads a team that includes co-founders Alexandre Elkrief and Dylan Rhodes. Knowhere launched publicly in the article’s reporting and emphasizes a mix of automated writing and editorial oversight to reduce partisan echo chambers. The company has positioned its product to give readers multiple narratives that share core facts while allowing different interpretations.
