Our Purpose
In today's world of AI content "Hold the News" was established to provide people with a source of truthful information and opinions written by real people.
"Hold the News" features a single column per day with articles and sponsor messages, at days end a new column appears and today's column becomes yesterday's news, frozen in time forever.
To ensure quality content our writers are not only verified, but are required to submit content under a real name.
Quality journalism deserves to be rewarded, therefore a small number (max 10) sponsor messages appear in the daily column. No targeting algorithms or cookies are used - sponsors pay once and their spots simply remain fixed in the same position forever.
Sponsor revenue is shared between the platform and the content writers with the majority going to the writers.
Our platform is built on a simple principle: honest information, written by people, supported by advertising that respects the reader.
