About The Stare
The Stare is Kansas City's reading room: a fast, honest place to see what every KC newsroom is reporting right now — and to read original stories we write ourselves.
Two halves, one page
The Wire aggregates headlines from Kansas City's newsrooms into one clean river. We pull the headline, a short excerpt, and a link — then we send you to the original publisher to read it. We don't republish anyone's work, and we don't dress someone else's reporting up as ours.
Stories are our own — original reporting, features, and guides written by real, named people. Every piece is bylined and dated. No machine wrote it; no algorithm scored it.
The line we keep
The Stare covers Kansas City; it does not judge-and-sell it. The newsroom takes no outside equity and runs behind an editorial firewall from everything else its owner operates. We'd rather be trusted than be first. Read our full Ethics & Independence statement.
