The News Movement, the social-first news media company serving Gen Z, with new ways of delivering news, has launched in the U.S. after producing content in beta live for 10 months. 

Claiming more than 80,000 followers and 26 million+ views, The News Movement focuses on nonpartisan news on social media platforms. 

The News Movement now publishes content on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and Snap.  

As part of the U.S. launch, The News Movement has partnered with music creator platform UnitedMasters to provide a soundtrack to news stories with songs available on UnitedMasters. 

“Since founding The News Movement, we have been working behind the scenes to perfect the way in which we provide Gen Z engaging, non-partisan news,” states William Lewis, CEO of The News Movement, former CEO of Dow Jones and publisher of The Wall Street Journal, who co-founded The News Movement in 2020.  

Lewis adds, “Ahead of the midterms and Presidential elections in the U.S., it has never been more important to fight against misinformation and  we’re looking forward to working with other media companies and businesses who share our mission."

Kamal Ahmed, co-founder and editor-in-chief, adds that “journalistic rigor is at the heart of what we’re building at The News Movement. We are excited to combine this rigor with new creative storytelling techniques to reach younger audiences.”
