We remain committed to providing multiple perspectives on issues because we believe, there are two sides to every story....

Our Story

The Common Sense Network (TCS Network) is a Manchester based bi-partisan news network for young people, dedicated to finding ‘common sense’ in an increasingly divided and polarised world.

TCS Network has three aims: to encourage and enable our users to interact with opinions and ideas that differ from their own, to lower the barriers to entry for young people into digital news media consumption and to create a news network that operates in both an online and offline environment.

Using online and offline mediums, TCS Network exists to make sure young people can stay connected to one another’s perspectives and understand political events admits the fast pace of the digital news cycle and whilst algorithms may be exacerbating ideological divides. We are an innovative approach to improving the way young people consume digital news.
