Behind the Headlines
There’s no shortage of news sites out there—so why are you here?
Probably because you’re tired of clickbait, tired of vague advice, and tired of not knowing who to trust. We get it. That’s exactly why we created American Discovery News: a digital space where clarity wins, common sense matters, and real people guide the content.
We’re not chasing pageviews. We’re chasing truth, relevance, and usefulness.
We’re a crew of experienced journalists, educators, researchers, and category experts. But more than that, we’re also:
– Parents trying to make sense of healthcare systems
– Budgeters who’ve been through debt and out the other side
– Voters who want facts, not spin
– Everyday people, just like you
Each article lists its author—and we don’t hide behind fake bylines. You’ll find full bios below, including what we’ve written, where we come from, and why we care about our topics.
Because who writes something—and why—matters just as much as what they write.
Our mission
Every day, people make decisions that shape their health, money, and future. We’re here to make those decisions easier.
American Discovery News is built to guide, not overwhelm.
The Discovery Standard
🧭

How We Think About Information
At American Discovery News, a few core ideas shape everything we create:
- Start with people. We don’t publish for algorithms—we publish for real lives.
- Share what we know. Our writers bring personal insight and professional experience to every article.
- Teach, don’t preach. We aim to explain, guide, and simplify—not lecture.
- Stay accountable. We cite our sources, update our content, and welcome feedback.
Our goal is never just to inform—it’s to help you act, decide, and live with a little more certainty.
