The upvoting system isn't set in stone. We are always looking for better ways to do things! Please share if you have thoughts on how you would like our system to function. However, the weight of the votes isn't just decided by how frequent users are, but if they have done quality checked contributions to the app, such as written approved summaries for news stories.

Each new source is presented with multiple sources. Every source is labeled with their biases. Mainstream media is biased and owned by only a handful of corporations. Often they have an agenda of their own and fail to provide unbiased information. Providing multiple links to each source helps reducing dependence on any one outlets. Often the biases are visible in the headlines. When a user sees a story, it is also accompanied by a summary that highlights only facts. So what NV is doing if offering a user multiple sources to a story and letting them decide. Rather than pushing any one narrative on them.

Depends on how you pronounce it ;)

For legal reasons, there are comments that we sometimes need to remove. This can be things like incitement to violence. We also hide comments to comply with the rules of App Store and Google Play or for personal attacks on other readers of Newsvoice, these comments can always be accessed through our website. This makes it possible to review the work of moderators and to see why things were hidden.

Head over to your Activity tab - > How to earn points (on the top left). You need to reach Level 5 on the app via contributions. Try it out. And we look forward to welcoming you!
