Never before have we had so much information at our fingertips. In 2022, there are projected to be 94 zettabytes of data produced in the world. That's 94 trillion gigabytes, in case you're wondering.
In that swell of information, we take pride in knowing that we continue to bypass incendiary rhetoric that dominates the 24-hour news cycle. Now more than ever, we all need news we can trust and TWN is dedicated to pragmatically delivering news to you.
