Rhetor News

Rhetor News Local. Engaged. Informed. Rhetor News is committed to improving the civil discourse about important issues across the country and fighting against news deserts.

Follow our page to learn more about how we plan to do this! Our country needs more than ever to be able to speak to one another and not past each other. The challenges that lay ahead are to great for any one party or any single ideology to solve. Only when we can work past our differences and admit that other perspectives can also prove invaluable will we be able to break the divisive cycle of ani

mosity that saturates our current political and social environments. This won't be done by waiting for politicians in Washington to get it right. It won't be done by screaming at each other IN ALL CAPS on Facebook or Twitter. We need to be able to look each other in the eye, acknowledge each other's humanity and right to differing points of view and be able to not let that break us apart as a society. America is unique in that we are one of the most diverse countries on the planet in culture, in ancestry and in intellectual backgrounds. Lets use our differences as a beacon of the possible and not a wedge of divisiveness. Rhetor raises the level of debate by developing a platform to consume, discuss and debate the news. We contribute to the conversation through our podcast, interview and events across the country providing people from different perspectives to come together and talk about the issues.

Since 2004, more than 2,000 American newspapers have stopped their presses and closed their doors, as noted by Margaret Sullivan in Ghosting the News. If we don’t take effective action, this trend will continue, to the detriment of the American people.

We have a strong solution in a time that the evolution to digital is creating unique and novel challenges for the journalism industry.

The industry implosion has left almost half of the counties in America with only one newspaper, which is usually a weekly. Additionally, 171 counties do not have a newspaper at all.

A Salon report cited a UNC study stating, “the United States has lost nearly 1,800 local newspapers since 2004”. This is a global issue as well. A Washington Post piece by Douglas McLennan states, “Britain has nearly 200 fewer regional newspapers than in 2005”.

A lack of local news coverage will lead to entire regions stateside and globally being without media attention specific and unique to their needs. Without an adequate flow of information, people are unable to responsibly be informed at the ballot box, know about current events in their area or be informed on issues affecting their community. Larger news outlets also draw on vital facts and figures from local news reports to tell national stories in the proper context. Losing local reporters from this journalism network would deal a crushing blow to the quality of news we all consume.

Rhetor News will change this dialogue by compensating freelance journalists for providing credible news to local communities.

Former President Obama during a Thursday speech placed blame on tech giants for failing to adequately handle disinformation being spread on their sites.

No major religion has come out in opposition to the COVID vaccines. Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Scientists, and the Catholic Church have all issued statements saying their religion does not prohibit members from getting it.

As religious exemptions are now being sought in droves, their use raises concerns that they pose a serious public health risk. But some say vaccine mandates are too much, too soon.

A Maryland man accused of killing his pharmacist brother and two other people had complained that he believed his sibling was harming people with the Covid-19 vaccine, court documents say.

A Texas OB-GYN recently had to tell a woman that her fetus had anencephaly — a condition where the baby doesn't have a brain. It's always fatal, and patients are typically given the option to terminate.

Except now the state's law prohibits it.

The law bans nearly all abortions, and doctors providing pregnancy care are hoping for more clarity soon, as legal challenges continue.

Our Story

Our country needs more than ever to be able to speak to one another and not past each other. The challenges that lay ahead are too great for any one party or any single ideology to solve. Only when we can work past our differences and admit that other perspectives can also prove invaluable will we be able to break the divisive cycle of animosity that saturates our current political and social environments. This won't be done by waiting for politicians in Washington to get it right. It won't be done by screaming at each other IN ALL CAPS on Facebook or Twitter. We need to be able to look each other in the eye, acknowledge each other's humanity and right to differing points of view and be able to not let that break us apart as a society. America is unique in that we are one of the most diverse countries on the planet in culture, in ancestry and in intellectual backgrounds. Lets use our differences as a beacon of the possible and not a wedge of divisiveness. Rhetor is raising the level of debate by developing a social media news platform to consume, discuss and debate the news. We will provided original content as a media company in our own right and host events throughout the country that gives us an opportunity to “meet in the middle”. America has always been an exercise in generations meeting the moment of their calling. We have always been about progressing toward a more perfect union. There are plenty of challenges in the digital age, but we are better equipped to tackle them if we work together. Lets reject the hyper-partisan divide and growing bias in our media by allowing space for each other’s perspectives. Rhetor is committed to that mission.
