About TNM

The News Movement (TNM) is a new media business bringing together leading industry figures and passionate journalists to help reset how we tell “the news” in an era of declining trust and increasing misinformation.

We are driven by our purpose - to help millions of people around the world be better informed. We will do that by solving the under-supply of trusted, objective, high-quality news and useful information on social media and other digital platforms.

We are particularly focused on serving younger social audiences. Our newsroom teams believe that factual unbiased journalism can be told in different and exciting ways via the channels that our audiences already enjoy. We want to explain the world and uncover the stories that matter.

Our commercial team - which operates in tandem with our newsroom editorial team - are taking the lessons learned in our newsroom to help brands tell their stories. By applying the rigour of journalism, storytelling skills, and social understanding we are able to help brands navigate the digital space. Our areas of expertise include content creation, creator management, and consultancy. We offer account management services for brands looking to tap into the younger generation of audiences with a tone of authenticity and brand alignment.
