Hi everyone,
Quarex just added a new Knowledge Library: Media & Information, with 13 structured research books covering the full landscape of journalism, media ownership, propaganda, and the future of news.
This shelf traces the entire arc of how we get our information — from the original town criers to AI-powered civic news — and everything that went wrong in between:
Try it: Open any book, click a topic, and get a live AI-generated answer grounded in sharp, specific questions. Then follow the follow-up questions to go deeper. This is structured research, not search results.
To go along with the new library, I wrote a deep dive into why journalism is collapsing — hedge funds stripping newspapers, cable news choosing outrage over reporting, 213 U.S. counties with zero local news coverage, and what comes next.
The post includes interactive Insight Panel links that let you explore the research without leaving the article. Click any highlighted link and a side panel streams a full AI answer from the Quarex library.
This all ties into something bigger. We also just released a video introducing QuarexNews.org — a free civic news platform that delivers structured local news for any location on earth, in 18 languages. No editors, no algorithms, no billionaires deciding what you should know.
Watch the introduction:

The new Media & Information library, the blog post, and QuarexNews are all part of the same mission: replacing the broken information system with something that actually works for people.
As always, everything on Quarex is free. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no ads, no tracking. The platform now has nearly 1,000 research books across 7 library types.
I'd love to hear what you think — especially about the Insight Panel links in the blog. That's a new feature and your feedback helps.
