What is
Straight Arrow News?
Straight Arrow News is on a mission to raise the bar on journalism in a time of media bias and mistrust. We do it via fact-based reporting and hearing from both sides. Overall, our focus is serving you the truth.
How do we achieve our mission?
We report down the middle with facts. Our reporting is delivered to you without bias, filter, or spin.
We are privately owned and funded by our CEO Joe Ricketts, who, along with our advisory board and journalists that work here, believes that unbiased news should be the standard and not just the exception.
We are here to empower you with cutting-edge insights. With our Media Miss™ tool you can discover stories being underreported (or even not reported) by different sides of mainstream media. It is our way of making sure you have a complete picture of the news.
We foster a balanced space for differing opinions.
In our opinion section, we provide opposing views from our contributors with equal time for each side.

The problem we are trying to solve
We launched to chart a middle path between the wedge issues that divide us by carefully examining all sides of each story and acknowledging key talking points from both sides of the aisle.
We respect differences in beliefs and opinion, celebrating the American values that unite us. We strive to deliver the news with nuance and empathy.
