About the site

This web application is the result of a personal project started in 2022. As a computer science student with a passion for news, I came up with the idea of a website that would bring together as much free content as possible from the traditional media.

By harvesting free content from numerous sites, it's possible to get a global view of current affairs. Over time, the site has expanded to include several languages and several countries.

This website is not for profit. Its purpose is educational and informative.

How does the site work?


In the filters tab on the menu bar, you can choose a time period, countries and languages. The articles displayed on the site will reflect these settings. You can also browse free articles by newspaper or search for a particular term. (coming soon)
