A hand-drawn experiment: a narrow beam enters through a shutter, crosses a room to a glass prism on a wooden table, and leaves as a hand-tinted spectrum.

Second-order news.

Prism reads reporting across 57 outlets to show where accounts meet, where they differ, and what becomes visible when you read them together.

Essentially: where the news explains the world, Prism explains the news.

Prism compares the coverage: where accounts meet, where they differ, and what reading them together reveals.
