About
Many sources. A clearer view.
HelixNews is a modern news discovery platform. It brings reporting from across the media landscape into one accessible page, so you can discover developments, explore different perspectives, and see how widely each story is being covered. Every headline links straight to the original reporting.
How it works
- Sources. We read the public feeds of the publishers listed at the bottom of every page and refresh them every few minutes.
- Source Count. Next to each story you'll see how many different publishers are covering it, shown as bars and in words ("9 sources covering"). It's a measure of how widely something is being reported, not of whether it's true or important. See who's covering it, then read for yourself.
- The top story is the one the most sources are covering right now. Perspectives shows how different publishers wrote the same headline.
- Topics are sorted automatically. Editors can pin, block or adjust stories.
- Ask Helix about this story. On stories covered by several outlets, you can ask questions and get answers drawn from those outlets' own articles. Each answer cites and links to the articles it used, and shows where outlets' accounts differ.
- AI Insight and other AI features are clearly labeled, built only from the collected headlines (story chat also reads the articles), and can make mistakes. They give context behind the headline, not the final word. See our Terms of Use.
Independent and transparent
We don't produce the news or take sides. We show where reporting comes from and how widely it's being covered, so you can explore it yourself.
Ads
We keep advertising light: a few clearly labeled sponsor slots, with no pop-ups, autoplay or tracking.
Privacy
No third-party trackers or analytics. We count visits without cookies, and you can opt out anytime. Read the Privacy Policy.
