Microsoft News publishes content from 1,200 premium publishers who represent 4,500 brands worldwide, to power MSN.com, the Edge Start Page, the Microsoft News App and more to 500 million monthly readers in 140 countries and 28 languages.
Every day, our publishing partners send us more than 100,000 unique pieces of content. Our AI scans the content as it arrives, processes it to understand dimensions like freshness, category, topic type, opinion content and potential popularity and then presents it for our editors. Our algorithms suggest appropriate photos to pair with content to help bring stories to life. Editors then curate the top stories throughout the day, across a variety of topics, so our readers get the latest news from the best sources.
