Our fight to save the news media starts here

Project Kontinuum is building a powerful, global network to secure the future of news media. We’re leading the fightback against growing autocracy, weaponised ignorance and organised disinformation.

Full list

Choose Truth

A decades-long media literacy effort. Choose Truth is our opening shot campaign. We partnered with more than 800 publishing houses in over 100 countries. Giants like The New York Times and Reuters supported it. And we’re just getting started.

The News Social

Our no-algorithm social media platform, where safety comes first. The News Social will give primary posting rights to verified accounts. It will be controlled by a non-profit, with no incentive to prioritise anything but real news and real human debate. 


Eve Of Destruction

A redefining moment in the fight against a deepening climate crisis. Eve of Destruction is a push to regain momentum and instil a renewed sense of urgency. What will start as an event, will continue as constant pressure to achieve real change.
