Reframed

Overview

Reframed is a free morning email and web briefing. Each day it picks up to 18 stories across six categories (U.S. Politics, International Affairs, Business & Markets, Technology & Society, Science & Climate, Rights & Justice). Every story opens with the agreed facts, each tagged with the outlet that reported it, with links back to the reporting.

Then you get the left's read and the right's read of that same story, each written in its own moral language. A line at the top of the day counts how many stories the two sides agree on. Switch between Left, Both sides and Right on any card, or open the full story page, where both reads sit together without a click.

It does not run ads. A machine writes the briefing and checks it against the sources; people read it after it sends, not before.

Why I built it

I got tired of opening the news and feeling worked - every source already knew which side I was on. And some of the people I care about read the same headlines from the other side. I wanted to understand how they see a story, in their own terms, without anyone telling me what to think. Reframed is my attempt: the facts first, then both reads, then you decide.

How it works

1. Open the morning email or today's page - up to 18 stories, with a count of where left and right agree at the top. 2. Read the facts first - each fact names the outlet that reported it, with links back to the reporting. 3. Switch between Left, Both sides and Right - see each side's read of the same story in its own words. 4. Pass one on - "Show this to someone who'd disagree" shares the story page, where both reads sit together.

Feature highlights

• Facts first, with receipts - every story starts with the agreed facts, each tagged with the outlet that reported it.
• Both reads of one story - the left's case and the right's case over the same facts, each in its own moral language.
• Where they agree - a daily count of the stories left and right agree on, plus a one-line agree-or-split summary on each card.
• Morning email - a short, free email on the day's top stories; unsubscribe anytime.
• Show it to someone who'd disagree - share a story page that shows both reads without a click.
• Reframe any article - paste a news link and see it read through different moral frames in about 60 seconds.
• Archive - earlier briefings stay readable on the archive page.

Pricing

Free. The daily email and the web briefing cost nothing, and Reframed runs no ads.
