Buzzard’s idea to provide “a daily dose of diverse perspectives” was born in 2015, when founders Dario Nassal and Felix Friedrich - during their studies in politics - became increasingly aware of the rising polarisation in public debate and how difficult it was to get an overview of different political perspectives.
The outlet was launched in 2020 with an investment of nearly €20,000, as well as €165,000 from a crowdfunding campaign, multiple support schemes and a two-year testing phase.
Today, it uses more than 2,000 verified sources, including established media outlets, think tanks, and activist sites, and curates perspectives from across the political spectrum.
The newsroom publishes three daily news items. One of the informative items is a longer-term discussion point, summarised along six different sources and contextualised according to the media outlet's and authors’ political affiliations. It excludes “red flags”: perspectives that go against German Constitutional rights.
Acknowledging that complete objectivity in journalism is complicated, Buzzard defines itself as impartial, transparent, and independent. Its mission is to make people move past their filter bubbles and promote a public discourse with diverse perspectives and opinions. The platform is aimed at people from all political affiliations but interested in a constructive, factual, and differentiated debate.
The community can give feedback to the team about the indexed and curated information, although key or frequently appearing feedback is also passed on to the advisory board, which comprises six people.
The content is accessible via an app, a podcast, and a weekly newsletter. Though it is largely member financed, the strict paywall has recently been lifted, giving guests access to the app and content insights via the website. Through popular demand from teachers, Buzzard collaborates with philanthropic organisations to offer schools a new, easy way to strengthen discussion, culture, and media literacy and to integrate diverse perspectives on current debates into their curriculum.
