Caliber launches as a holding company for The News Movement, The Recount, Capsule, and The Caliber Collective with a view toward global expansion

Caliber to debut creator-driven platform, SaySo, in 2026

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Caliber, the newly launched multi-platform parent company of The News Movement (TNM), The Recount, Capsule, and The Caliber Collective, today announced its formation, set to define a new era of journalism in a digital-first culture.

Under the guidance of Ramin Beheshti, co-founder and CEO, Caliber reaches more than 100 million users each month through its growing family of socially native, creator-led, and social-first brands. These include TNM, Gen Z-catered news; The Recount, U.S. political news; Capsule, lifestyle and trends; and The Caliber Collective, a creative studio delivering digital campaigns for more than 25 clients, including Amazon, KFC, Planned Parenthood, and Snap.

Later this year, Caliber will continue its expansion with the launch of its owned platform, SaySo. The news and information app will give journalistic-minded creators a new way to reach consumers, create revenue opportunities around their original content, and provide ongoing tools and support to help them thrive long-term.

"Caliber's long-term vision is to set a new precedent to deliver journalism that moves at the speed of culture," said Ramin Beheshti, co-founder and CEO of Caliber. "In a world that moves fast, we are committed to telling stories that are grounded in our depth of craft. As we enter this new phase, we're building a model that keeps pace with how people consume information today – social, short-form, and fast – but grounded in truth and responsibility. We remain as energized as ever about the role journalism plays in society and are excited to platform a multitude of storytellers across news and culture in the formats consumers seek today."

Founded in 2022, the company expanded in 2023 through the acquisition of The Recount and Capsule and the launch of The Collective.

The launch of Caliber also ushers in a new generation of creator-journalists. Leading this is the appointment of Senior Correspondent Dan Ming at TNM, an Emmy-nominated correspondent and Peabody-winning producer (formerly of Vice, Netflix, and Al Jazeera), who will deliver a steady stream of high-impact, consequential and original journalism. Dan joins TNM's expanding U.S. newsroom and creator studio, now based in the company's new Flatiron location in New York.

This momentum is further fuelled by The Recount, which is cultivating emerging talent such as Grace Weinstein. With a following of more than 100,000, Grace just last week launched "Who Broke It?" - a new newsletter examining the creator economy across the political spectrum.
