The Broader View is a universal protocol for the internet, modeled on the closed captioning symbol. It adds an annotation layer of well-reasoned perspectives from across the ideological spectrum to any web content. No content is removed or suppressed. By ensuring readers always see the fuller picture, it reduces the outsized influence of any single source. A free-speech-friendly answer to the information crisis.
A voluntary design standard that tech companies can adopt — achieving viewpoint diversity through market-based design rather than mandating how platforms moderate content.
Websites and apps adopt the Broader View meridian globe — a universal cue that diverse perspectives are available.
The protocol surfaces well-reasoned viewpoints from across the spectrum. Non-partisan editorial standards ensure balance.
The original content stays untouched. An annotation layer mitigates the influence of any single source — readers decide for themselves.
Every article, every post, every headline shows one angle. The Broader View is the moment you pull back far enough to see the full shape of the conversation — and realize there was always more than what was in front of you.
Hover over the Broader View button on any article. Each article demonstrates a different design approach — same technology, flexible presentation.
