# CognioNews > An alternative news and analysis platform. Every mainstream story is re-stated through eight knowledge lenses (the ACST framework) and scored with a Civilisational Memory Restoration (CMR) rating — surfacing interpretation, context, and systems-level framing that conventional coverage omits. CognioNews is built by two anthropologists applying epistemic coverage analysis to the news. Rather than reporting events, it re-reads existing coverage: each story is opened into a structured dossier that names what the dominant framing conceals, scores how far the mainstream account drifts from a fuller reading (the CMR), and applies eight distinct interpretive lenses. The full story corpus (20,000+ dossiers) is enumerated in the sitemap; the pages below are the stable, high-value entry points for understanding the platform and its method. ## Core sections - [Trends](https://cognionews.com/trends.html): Visual trend analysis of global news through the Cogniosynthesis lens — source diversity, topic distribution, dimensional coverage, and the systemic patterns that power the deep dives. - [Columns](https://cognionews.com/columns.html): Named editorial columns built on the lens analysis — The Correction, Lens Filter, Signal vs Noise, and others. - [CognioFem](https://cognionews.com/cogniofem/): A thematic board that scans the corpus for structural signals on women and gender — gender-based violence, intersectional dynamics, reproductive rights, political representation, economic and care participation, legal and structural rights — and opens each matched story into a dossier with evidence, entities, and the reason it was classified. - [Research](https://cognionews.com/research.html): Participatory and collaborative research around the Cogniosynthetic framework. ## Method and framework - [ACST Vocabulary](https://cognionews.com/vocab/acst/): The machine-readable definition of the method — Automated Critical Social Theory. RDFS/JSON-LD definitions of cognio:Review, cognio:LensReading, and the eight ACST lenses: Indigenous, Historical, Cross-Cultural, Scientific, Artistic-Spiritual, Future Modelling, Marginalised Voices, and Trickster. - [The Trickster Lens](https://cognionews.com/lens/trickster/): A worked example of a single lens — inversion, irony, satire, and paradox applied to the news as disciplined disruption, surfacing what official framing conceals through solemnity. ## About - [About CognioNews](https://cognionews.com/about.html): The founders and the Cogniosynthesis framework. - [Pricing](https://cognionews.com/pricing.html): Free news intelligence with all analysis dimensions; premium adds a handpicked feed, story submissions, and a personalised dashboard. - [Contact](https://cognionews.com/contact.html): Get in touch. ## Optional - [Story corpus (sitemap)](https://cognionews.com/sitemap.xml): The complete index of every published story dossier — 20,000+ pages under /stories/. - [Homepage](https://cognionews.com/): The live feed of latest dossiers.
