I’m Jessica Yellin, the founder of News Not Noise. For years, I worked in network news at ABC, MSNBC, and CNN, where I was the Chief White House Correspondent. I’ve reported from around the world and won awards.<br /><br />The more years I got under my belt as a reporter, the more I became convinced that the news doesn't speak to a large part of the audience.<br /><br />In the summer of 2018, I did something different. The midterm elections were approaching and friends asked me to explain what the heck was happening in the political cycle.<br /><br />So, I picked up my phone and began posting short, daily explainer videos on Instagram. What started with me and a ring light is now a small team, dedicated to giving you news in a different voice. We aim to provide facts, not panic attacks. We interview real experts — not pundits. <br /><br />My goal is to provide the understanding you need to engage in the conversation and take action in the world.

Washington Divided: Power, Politics and What Comes Next
Republicans held the House. Democrats the Senate. But the margins couldn’t be slimmer. And the standoff ahead of 2024 is already taking shape.<br /><br />Can anything get done? Is a next generation of leadership ready to take the helm? And will the policies that you care about even make the agenda? <br /><br />We answer those questions with two experts: Jake Sherman, founder of Punchbowl News, a media company all about Capitol Hill. He's covered national politics for more than a decade. <br /><br />And Margaret Talev, the managing editor of politics for Axios and a CNN political analyst. She discusses Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump and the Democrats who could rise in 2024. It’s all starting now. <br /><br />Jake Sherman<br />➤Instagram: instagram.com/jakesherman<br />➤Twitter: twitter.com/JakeSherman<br />➤Twitter: twitter.com/punchbowlnews<br /><br />Margaret Talev<br />➤Twitter: twitter.com/margarettalev<br />➤Twitter: twitter.com/Axios<br /><br />You can follow Jessica Yellin here:<br />➤Instagram: instagram.com/jessicayellin<br />➤Twitter: twitter.com/jessicayellin<br />➤Twitter: twitter.com/newsnotnoise<br />➤Facebook: facebook.com/newsnotnoise<br />➤YouTube: youtube.com/newsnotnoise<br />➤Website: NewsNotNoise.com<br />➤Newsletter: newsnotnoise.bulletin.com<br /><br />Support this work:<br />➤patreon.com/NewsNotNoise<br /><br />Jessica Yellin is the founder of News Not Noise, a channel dedicated to giving you news with real experts and providing facts, not panic attacks. <br /><br />Jessica is a veteran of network news, traveling the globe, covering conflict and crisis.
