As Newsmatics celebrates its 30th year of serving the global media industry, one of its most ambitious and impactful initiatives is gaining fresh attention: Affinity Group Publishing. At a time when newsroom closures, partisan echo chambers, and information overload threaten the public’s ability to stay reliably informed, AGP is building a new kind of news ecosystem — one that empowers readers with transparency, control, and breadth.
Launched as a service of Newsmatics Inc., Affinity Group Publishing (AGP) now operates one of the world’s most expansive and intelligent news aggregation networks. With more than 3,900 moderated digital publications under its umbrella, AGP delivers headlines from global, national, and local sources — including many communities and topic areas typically overlooked by major aggregators.
“We’re not just observing the news. We’re powering its future,” said Jakub Leps, Chief Content Officer at Newsmatics. “With Affinity Group Publishing, our goal is to surface trustworthy journalism from every corner of the world, while giving users the tools to navigate it on their own terms.”
At the heart of AGP is its integration with Perspectify®, a proprietary Newsmatics technology that labels every publication for political bias. Users can filter content based on ideological lean, from left to right to center, or even opt for balanced mixes. In a media environment clouded by mistrust, Perspectify’s labeling system offers transparency without censorship — giving readers more clarity, not less.
“No other aggregation service gives this much agency to the user,” Leps added. “You don’t just scroll endlessly — you control the lens through which you read the news.”
That level of control is paired with a highly curated approach. AGP combines advanced AI systems with human editorial oversight to ensure quality, relevance, and diversity across its platform. This dual-layered moderation helps eliminate noise and misinformation while elevating voices from underserved regions and specialized sectors.
But AGP doesn’t stop at informing readers — it also connects them. The network spans thousands of niche, regional, and industry-specific publications, offering organizations a powerful platform to distribute press releases, advertising, and sponsorships. Instead of casting a wide and wasteful net, AGP helps brands place content alongside relevant news in spaces where audiences are already paying attention.
“This is where media meets precision,” said Leps. “If your story is about education policy, it doesn’t get buried in a general feed — it shows up next to related headlines, in front of readers who care about education.”
AGP’s network covers more than 30 content verticals, from agriculture and energy to cryptocurrency, human resources, science, and culture. That reach makes it especially attractive to mission-driven organizations, nonprofits, and companies trying to speak to communities with shared interests — not just demographics.
As a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) company, Newsmatics has built its reputation on structuring, distributing, and democratizing information at scale. The company’s flagship EIN Presswire platform and its real-time indexing system provide the backbone for AGP’s infrastructure, while its 30 years of global media relationships power its unparalleled source base.
“Every part of AGP is built to serve news deserts and information overload at the same time,” said Leps. “It brings structure to the chaos — and accessibility to places where local journalism is disappearing.”
As the media landscape continues to shift, Affinity Group Publishing stands out not just for its scale, but for its values: transparency, access, and the belief that readers deserve both breadth and control. With Perspectify® bias labeling, intelligent aggregation, and precision-targeted outreach tools, AGP is redefining what it means to inform — and connect — in the modern media age.
