Why we built Breaking News Studio.
In an era of AI-generated misinformation and deepfakes, authentic breaking news is invaluable. Our Breaking News Studio equips verified journalists, school administrators, and public communicators with an unmistakable visual signature — protecting your work and making it nearly impossible for bad actors and bots to steal or manipulate your reporting.
How we expect BNS to be used.
Breaking News Studio is designed for verified journalists, school administrators, and public communicators who cover News, Politics, Finance, Weather, Science, and Sports. The Breaking News banner is a credibility tool — it signals to readers that factual, reportable information has been published.

Jed Maslowski graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1998 with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. Today he runs MAZ Income Planning Services LLC (formerly MAZ Insurance LLC) — about as far from a newsroom as you can get. His appreciation for independent journalism never left, though. True journalism is hard work, and the people doing it deserve to be seen. Breaking News Studio is his way of making sure they are.
