How We Do It
Calmscroll News™ uses a process to Sift, Examine, Extract, and Verify.
Here’s our four-step process:
- Sift and Examine
Every day, we review coverage from 50+ trusted news sources—including international, regional, and independent coverage. This offers clear reporting from many perspectives. - Extract and Verify
We use our technology to screen every story for 25 kinds of bias—including exaggeration, cherry-picked data, and emotional language. Our experienced editors then extract the facts, verify across multiple sources, and refine them for accuracy. - Simplify and Clarify
We summarize these stories in direct, plain language. We sift out confusing narratives or complex phrasing—so you can understand world news quickly, correctly, and clearly. - Report Only What Matters
Each summary begins with the Calmscroll News Spotlight™ (a one-line key takeaway) followed by Why It Matters for You: This summary tells you what happened and why it’s important, quickly and clearly.
Why Calmscroll News™ Is Different
- Reader-Supported: We are 100% funded by readers and have no ads.
- You Are In Control: You choose what you read and how you feel about it.
- Mental Wellness: Our goal is to inform you, not overwhelm you.
Personalize Your Experience
Choose the news you want. Calmscroll News™ is your customizable news app experience, letting you choose:
- News by Region: news from Canada, the United States, or the rest of the world.
- News by Topic: Politics, science, economy, culture, sports, and more. If you don’t want certain kinds of news, you can decide to filter them out. No politics? No problem.
- News by Mood: Full coverage (when you want all types of news) or Calmscroll News Light Mode™ (to filter out distressing or emotionally heavy stories).
