About the Company

NewsBreak

Runs a personalized local news app for US readers

NewsBreak runs a free app and website that gather local and national news for readers across the United States and sort it by ZIP code and by each reader's interests. In 2022, it launched a national network of independent local writers to cover communities that get little attention from traditional media. Its software pulls articles from local outlets, national publishers, and its own contributors into a single feed, and the app sends nearby alerts about crime, weather, and traffic. NewsBreak makes money by selling ads, including to local businesses, and shares ad revenue with partner publishers. It was founded in 2015 and is based in Mountain View, California.
