News in a world that is “almost” there, for audiences in a state of “almostness”

Almost

Almost is an independent social-first news outlet delivering global news stories for young people all around the world.

Recognizing the growing disconnect between young people and traditional media publishers, I quit my full-time job in journalism in 2020 to found Almost, with the intention of informing and empowering the future generation through news.

With more than 223,000 followers across platforms, and videos reaching 100 million views, Almost is outperforming traditional media outlets and changing the news landscape.

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.
