Welcome! Pano is a passion project turned full-time effort by a group of individuals who are deeply saddened by the state of our politics.
Here's how we're different from what you've read in the past.
A lot of publications say this, but we believe actions speak louder than words.
We don't run ads.
We don't sell your data.
We don't partner with political interest groups.
Instead, we're funded entirely by our readers through subscriptions and donations. To us, the best way to stay accountable is by maintaining a direct, unfiltered relationship with you.
Unlike most publications, Pano doesn't have a team of reporters in the field. Instead, we've built technology that analyzes coverage from major news outlets, groups related articles, then summarizes the result.
This grouping method helps you understand which stories are being covered the most in a given time horizon. For example, today's top stories have been covered by 63, 51, and 49 sources respectively.
Susan Crawford's victory cements a liberal majority on Wisconsin's Supreme Court as Trump introduces new tariffs amidst economic concerns.
President Trump announces significant tariffs on imports, framing it as 'Liberation Day,' but economists warn of potential recession and inflation.
New tariffs announced by President Trump draw global condemnation and calls for negotiations as economists warn of rising prices and potential recession.
We strive to bring you stories and perspectives from across the political spectrum. We know not every opinion will line up with yours, and that's exactly why we do it. Hearing different viewpoints challenges our thinking, encourages dialogue, and helps us all become more informed. It's through this exposure to diverse ideas that we question, grow, and ultimately become more confident in our own world view.
If you're shaking your head, we get it. There are plenty of examples showing how ChatGPT, Claude, and the like have gone awry. And if you're already skeptical of human-generated news, why on Earth should you trust news generated by AI?
It's understandable to be cautious, but AI isn't meant to replace human judgment—it's a tool to enhance it. While examples of AI mishaps exist, these models excel at processing vast amounts of information quickly and objectively. When used properly, they can help summarize news from multiple sources, ensuring a more balanced, accurate representation of the facts. Rather than replace human-generated news, AI can actually complement it by reducing bias and increasing transparency in how stories are presented.
