Social

We're a remote team at a news company, so staying social takes intent. We run a monthly tournament open to friends, allies, and partners, we share one playlist, and we lean on the readers who keep us going. Their words live on our community page, and ours live on our culture page.

The informed.now Tournament

Once a month, our community of friends, allies, and partners meets online to compete in the ultimate "global street knowledge" game. It befits a world news company: you land somewhere on Earth and work out where you are.

It runs on the fourth Wednesday of every month, 4:00 to 4:45 pm Pacific, on Google Meet. You don't need an account, and you don't need to prepare. If you're late, join right in.

Everyone introduces themselves in one line. Then we play ten rounds of three minutes each, and we announce the winners at the end.

The champion picks any gift from our Shop. Second place picks from our Drinkware collection, and third picks from our Accessories collection.

You can bring a plus one, friend or foe.
