Description

Semafor, backed by $25 million in private investment, has (finally) launched, marking possibly the most ambitious attempt in recent years to build a new global news brand. At the heart of the effort is an attempt to restore trust in media by rethinking the journalistic product. Despite the long history of failed attempts to "reinvent the article," Justin sees a glaring need to unbundle the article to clearly delineate factual news from analysis and opinion, while providing the context of the news along with countervailing views.
