LeftTimes

About LeftTimes Android App

LeftTimes is an aggregator of high-quality articles, podcasts and videos, bringing together content that is balanced across issues areas and represents a breadth of perspectives - aiming to be consistently informative, thought-provoking, data-driven, in-depth, and well-reasoned.

Contents spans from news, politics and policy to culture, art and identity - balanced across the US and global perspectives - and covering everything the economy, international relations, the environment, and social justice.

The distribution of creators and publications is predominantly liberal, progressive, and social democratic - with a smattering of libertarian, democratic socialist, and neoliberal sources.

All content is curated from a select set of liberal writers and publications including newsletters, magazines, think tanks, investigative journalists, blogs, research institutes and more.

LeftTimes is intended to augment a mainstream news diet (NYT, FT, WaPo, WSJ, etc.) with in-depth analyses, investigative journalism, editorials, and research from a breadth of perspectives.

LeftTimes in 2017 in response to three trends:

1) a lack of investigative journalism and progressive op-eds in mainstream media
2) a blossoming of independent, niche publications (increasingly in the 2020's on Substack)
3) the tendency of social media algorithms to produce information bubbles filled with click-bait rather than informative content from mixed perspectives.

LeftTimes aggregates and curates articles from independent authors and publications. They have not sponsored or endorsed LeftTimes and their trademarks belong solely to them.
