If the world is burning, then the news should feel like fire.
Almost
Almost is an independent, youth-led, social-first newsroom telling global stories for the generation living through overlapping crises — climate collapse, war, inequality and political failure.
Young people know something is wrong. They feel it every day.
But most news still doesn’t meet them where they are — emotionally, culturally or structurally.
Almost exists to change that.
Mission-driven, audience-first
We don’t flatten stories into content or chase outrage. Every editorial decision is deliberate — guided by truth, empathy and purpose.
Our stories are made for the feed — short video, visual explainers and vertical formats — without sacrificing complexity or accuracy.
Social-native, without losing depth

“My friends and classmates are starting to show interest in the news content I am producing. Many of them said after they read the stories I reported on, they were able to better understand social topics and even shared and discussed them with their friends.”
Our newsroom is built by journalists under 30. We don’t speak to young audiences — we speak as them.
Created by young people, for young people
“It’s never as simple as a straight translation job. We always put our audience first. As such, we put a lot of thought into how we can best localize and adapt every single post.”
— As seen in China Media ProjectAlmost tells stories across borders, cultures and contexts — recognising that the world is interconnected, even when media coverage isn’t.
We go beyond translation, localising stories for different audiences so meaning, nuance and relevance aren’t lost.
Global, multilingual, local by design
