About this app

Newslaundry is a reader-supported, independent news media company. In an industry driven by corporate and government interests, we strongly believe in the need for an independent news model, and a free and accountable press.

Through media critique, reportage, podcasts, documentaries, comics and animation, our stories bring you the latest in current affairs in innovative and engaging formats.

Our Core Values

Ad-free

Stories that are produced to bring value to you, not clicks for ad revenue. Our journalism is not dictated and influenced by advertisers, whether corporate or government. At Newslaundry, you get to bypass the digital clutter and go straight to the story.

Focus on media

The media holds democracy to account, but what about the media itself? We believe news organisations should be accountable, including us. Our stories on the media are driven by that belief.

Substance, not breaking

Organisations compete to “break” the news. We believe in bringing our readers the stories behind the headlines, through thoughtfully-researched deep dives and ground reports.

Community, not pageviews

We value our community of subscribers more than any metric. We have learned from their feedback and criticism and owe where we are today entirely to them.

Independent, not institutional view

We aim to be a “big tent” for opinions and viewpoints, presenting a broad spectrum of thoughtful perspectives.

Transparency

Readers deserve transparency from their news sources. Our innovations are powered by our community of subscribers, from our monthly Chatbox with our subscribers to subscriber meetups.

Ratings and reviews

I love the journalism of newslaundry and news minute. The app is good, but instead of just 3 font settings under accessibility, it is helpful if you give font size control options. I use app both on android and ipad, if i set medium font on android, the settings sync, and in ipad the medium size appears too large, which hampers reading experience. It will be helpful if you give font size option just like in the indian express app or any other news app.

I love newslaundry and am a paid subscriber, but this app which worked fine before, has become very slow since 3 months - just seeing a black screen loading after the initial loading logo disappears... Sometimes it loads but only after 4-5 minutes which is unacceptable. So I'm only using their website which is fine except if u want to hear podcasts on ur phone without screen on.

Too many updates, very frequently. It's repulsive. Everytime I want to open your app, I have to think and make a conscious decision based on how comfortable I am at that moment to have my experience ruined just because I want to listen to a podcast. THAT has overshadowed everything else (good or bad) that I could've said about your application.

What’s new

Earlier this year, we announced a host of changes to make our app accessible.
With feedback from thousands of disabled users, we are now improving further:

• Better screen reader navigation: Enhanced screen reader compatibility for visuals in story pages and critical functions on podcast player functions. Improved interaction with error toasts, loaders, and warnings.
• Keyboard input: The keyboard now adapts to email and phone inputs, ensuring the right keyboard appears for each screen
