Every newsroom tells the world from somewhere.
TOLD shows the same story side by side, told by hundreds of news sources from around the world, across countries, languages and editorial traditions.
Every source speaks from a position. TOLD shows you which.
The same event. Four different headlines.
Word choice and emphasis differ from newsroom to newsroom. TOLD puts those differences side by side.
A central bank raises its key interest rate
Central bank raises key rate to 4.5 percent
Rate rise adds new pressure on renters and borrowers
Savers see returns at last as bank confronts inflation
Officials say rate decision shows the economy is on course
Illustrative example. On TOLD, every headline links to its original source.
We don’t choose the news. We show it.
TOLD does not write headlines.
It ranks stories by how widely they’re covered, not by angle.
It shows each source’s reporting as that source published it.
TOLD links directly to hundreds of outlets worldwide, so the same events can be explored across borders and languages. Contextual information and summaries show how stories are framed and where attention is placed. TOLD does not promote opinions or tell you what to think. It is built to support critical reading, and to leave the conclusions to you.

Democracy needs more than access to information. It needs to see who is telling the story, and from where.
That is the mission: more views of the same news. An open conversation needs broad perspectives.
Rooted in the Swedish archipelago.
TOLD is built by Gaerhenäs, a small studio on the Swedish coast that builds digital tools with a public purpose. TOLD is an ongoing experiment in how news can be read, built for clarity and the long term.
