About
An experiment in transparent, algorithmic journalism
Why We Built This
Traditional news organizations make thousands of editorial decisions every day behind closed doors. Which stories get covered? Which get buried? Which perspectives are amplified? The public rarely knows.
We believe journalism can do better. Glassbox is an experiment in radical transparency—using AI to curate news while showing every decision, every prompt, every score. We're not claiming to be unbiased. Instead, we're making our biases explicit and our process inspectable.
Our goal is simple: demonstrate that algorithmic curation can be both effective and accountable. If we succeed, we hope to inspire a new generation of news platforms that trust their audience enough to show them how headlines come together.
Our Principles
Transparency over perfection
We'd rather show you an imperfect process than hide behind editorial mystique.
Institutional impact over outrage
We prioritize stories about policy changes and structural shifts, not clickbait.
Accountability through auditability
Anyone should be able to verify our claims and challenge our methodology.
Continuous improvement
Our prompts and criteria will evolve based on performance and feedback.
