Our Story
About Universal News
Universal News is the world's most trusted source for global intelligence — delivering verified, contextualised, and AI-enhanced journalism to readers in every nation.
Our Mission
Universal News exists to provide independent, rigorous, and contextualised global journalism to every person on Earth — regardless of where they live, what they earn, or what language they speak.
Founded by Amankwah Bismark, Universal News was built on a simple but radical premise: the world's most consequential stories deserve the world's most thorough journalism. In an era of fragmented attention, manufactured outrage, and algorithmic amplification of division, Universal News offers something different — intelligence.
We combine the editorial rigour of the world's most respected news organisations with the analytical depth of a think tank and the technological innovation of a technology company. The result is a news platform unlike anything that has existed before.
