History
Knowhere News was previously launched as a machine-learning-driven news project promising multiple “spins” of each story. The original site went offline for years. The current version at KnowHereNews reappeared around 2024–2025 with no acknowledgement of prior ownership or operations. The new site now publishes short summaries of crime, courts, and political news, with no visible connection to the earlier startup.

Funded by / Ownership
The current site does not disclose owners, editors, corporate registration, or physical location. It provides only a Gmail contact (knowherenewscom@gmail.com). Unlike the original venture-funded startup, no evidence links the present site to CrunchFund, Day One Ventures, Danhua Capital, Struck Capital, or Abstract Ventures. All indicators suggest this is a different entity supported primarily through advertising networks and click-exchange “promoted content.”
Analysis / Bias
KnowHereNews publishes short rewrite-style summaries, mostly crime and incident reports, often paraphrased from local TV outlets without linking to sources. An example is the story titled “Adams County Deputy Injured After Violent Pursuit and Head-On Crash, Suspect in Custody,” which relies on FOX31 reporting but provides no citations.
The same pattern appears in Prosecution to Rest in Trial of Man Accused of Murdering Pregnant Girlfriend in California, and Judge blocks Trump from cutting funding over ‘sanctuary’ policies. Articles are neutral in tone and generally non-political, but the consistent structure, generic phrasing, lack of bylines, and absence of sourcing indicate likely AI-assisted generation. While ideological bias is minimal, the inability to verify material due to missing references reduces reliability.
