Spira is... HUMAN. We don't use AI for visuals, or reporting. No stolen work, no hallucinated facts. When we use LLMs, we use them sparingly, and for efficiency: things like transcription, or cleaning up audio, which can easily be corrected by a human.
Spira is... TRANSPARENT. Everything we do is transparent - sources, scripts, and interviews are all public. Got a question about our process? DM us.
Spira is... INDEPENDENT. Independent of corporations, governments, politicians, investors, and billionaires.
Spira is... NEWS. (Just a little bit. Less news, more explainers.) Not breaking news. Not mainstream news. In depth reporting on topics that don't get enough coverage.
Spira is... CURIOSITY DRIVEN. Our curiosity, and yours. What's that one unexplainable thing you've always been curious about? Comment it, and we'll explain it.
Spira is… EXPLAINERS: Videos, podcasts, and articles that help you make sense of a chaotic and complicated world."The world doesn't just need information. It needs explanation."- Vox Media
