How are you doing with the Paperini app?
Oskar: It’s still in beta testing. Right now I’m working on some fine adjustments, making the feed smarter.

How about that final to-do-list we talked about six weeks ago?
Ben: We’ve managed to finish most of the features. There are now three functions left on the list. Naturally, we always talk about improvements, and we have new ideas constantly, but we have not added them to the list. At least not yet.

Can you name a feature in the making?
Ben: Fetch similar. Let’s say you are looking for a specific football-related story, and there are some football stories in your feed, but not the one you’re looking for. With the fetch similar function you can use the story in your feed to find the right one, not just another source or angle on the one you’re not interested in.

When can we see it?
Ben: If you are a publisher, get in touch and we will be happy to show you!

What is Paperini?

Paperini is a news app that serves news content to paying readers.

Paperini works with big brand publishers, pioneering journalists and local newspapers to combine global reporting with local perspectives in innovative, new ways.

Our vision is to create and sustain a wholesome ecosystem for news.

How is it different from other news apps?

The main difference is something we simply call a Story. Content from a variety of sources comprise a story.

For readers, this means a large perspective on news stories with just one subscription fee. With Smartreading, the news experience is better sourced, faster, and more enjoyable.

For publishers, this means revenue from new markets with no extra work.

Why have we built Paperini?

We are tired of clickbait and the one-sided selection of articles our Facebook friends post. Our mission is to bring order to chaos in all our news feeds.

Paperini emphasises thorough and truthful journalism, open-minded dialogue between people and ideas, and respect of user privacy.

We truly believe Paperini is the solution to the journalism crisis.
