About

About Universal News

Global Intelligence. Uncompromised Truth.

Universal News was founded by Amankwah Bismark with a singular conviction: that global journalism could be simultaneously institutional in its rigour and futuristic in its delivery. The platform bridges the gap between traditional news authority and the technological infrastructure of the modern information age.

We cover politics, economics, technology, security, climate, health, culture, and sport — not as isolated verticals, but as interconnected threads in the fabric of a rapidly changing world. Every story we publish is fact-checked, legally reviewed, and assigned an AI-generated impact score so our readers can understand not just what happened, but why it matters.

Our Values

⚖️

Editorial Independence

No government, corporation, or advertiser influences our editorial decisions. Ever.

🔍

Radical Transparency

Every article lists its sources. Corrections are published prominently. We make mistakes visible.

🌍

Global Perspective

We cover the world without hierarchy. A story from Accra matters as much as one from London.

🤖

AI-Augmented Journalism

We use AI to help our journalists work better — not to replace human judgment and accountability.

Leadership

Amankwah Bismark

Founder & Chief Executive

Amankwah Bismark founded Universal News with the conviction that Africa and the Global South deserve world-class news infrastructure — and that the world deserves journalism that represents the full diversity of human experience. Under his leadership, Universal News has become a trusted source for decision-makers across six continents.

Technology Philosophy

Universal News was built on the principle that institutional authority and technological innovation are not in opposition — they are complementary. Our 3D data visualizations, AI-generated summaries, and real-time global pulse dashboard exist not to impress, but to inform. We build what serves the reader first.

Ownership & Funding

Universal News is independently owned. We are funded through reader subscriptions, institutional partnerships, and select advertising that meets our editorial standards. We do not accept funding from governments, political parties, or advocacy organisations.
