About ovr.news

ovr.news is a project by Busara.eu, an independent initiative based in The Netherlands.

Why we exist

What you read shapes how you see the world. Mainstream news selects for threat, conflict, and crisis. Not because journalists are cynical, but because that is what the attention economy rewards. The result: a picture of reality that is systematically darker than reality itself.

ovr.news corrects for that. We use evidence-based lenses to surface progress that is real, documented, and verifiable. Not feel-good fluff. Not cheerleading. Just signs of life that the regular news cycle tends to miss.

About Busara

Busara develops educational resources, tools, and publications that help people navigate complexity. The mission: cultivating clarity and compassion in chaotic times.

Busara combines contemplative traditions, cognitive science, and media literacy research into practical resources. ovr.news is one of those resources: a lens for seeing what works in the world.

How we're built

ovr.news runs on open-source software and local AI. Our pipeline processes over 1,400 news sources, scores articles across multiple dimensions, and generates summaries using language models running on our own hardware. No data goes to Big Tech. No tracking. No ads.

We are transparent about our methods. See how we work and our accountability page for the details.
