ABOUT IN


Influentials Network (IN) is an intelligent news aggregator, curator, and dynamic platform for political enthusiast and professionals who want all their political and public policy news in one, always-updating website. It is also the gateway to the INlocal Network: real-time local political news and content from key cities around the US.

Influentials Network uses a process called Intelligent News Search which groups headlines into relevant categories using layers of complex filters. These filters are hand-crafted -- developed and continually updated by human editors -- making our headline results more accurate than typical aggregators designed to be 100 percent automated.

Headlines are shown in descending time order and updated every 30 minutes while the site auto-refreshes every 10 minutes.

Aggregation and Curation

IN filters, edits and organizes over 10,000 individual bits of media each day, including social media feeds, press releases, radio, TV, newspapers, websites, blogs and Twitter.

Reporting

The IN editorial team writes several stories a day providing analysis and commentary about the biggest political news stories and issues of the day.

Analysis

IN’s international editorial team provides insight and analysis on the political stories of the day on our blogs and privately customized platforms.

Our Company


The idea behind Influentials Network is simple: political enthusiasts consume news differently than everyone else. They want it all. So we built definitive, single-topic news aggregation portals offering superior completeness, specificity and topic relevance.


Our Intelligent News Search process aggregates a series of categorized news search results from trusted news and blog sources. The clustering of news into relevant categories is more specific and useful to enthusiast and professional audiences than the single-column search results of most news aggregators.

The filters which select news headlines are developed and continually updated by human editors. News sources are also manually chosen based on their reputation and reach. This ongoing editorial input provides an edge pure automation can’t match.

Influentials Network was founded by Terry Lee, a veteran corporate and public policy communications consultant, and a former White House and DC Mayor appointee.  Influentials Network is conveniently headquartered on Connecticut Ave NW strategically located between K Streets and Dupont Circle in Washington, DC.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is simple: to provide the fastest and most comprehensive coverage of US politics anywhere on the web.

On top of the free website, we offer a range of public policy communications consulting and customized intelligence aggregation, monitoring, and analysis services designed to save time and money and help you stay better informed about politics.
