CASE STUDY: NEWSLINES APPLICATION

Newslines is the first application built on the NewsBlocks platform. It uses NewsBlocks as the core of a social news network that gives you complete unbiased news feeds on any topic.

In 2017, Newslines distributed over 1700 news summaries about Conor McGregor, the UFC fighter, to a network of over two million Facebook fans, resulting in 100 million views on Facebook and between one to six million monthly pageviews, for just this single newsline.
