Our Story
Unsourced News was founded in 2019 by a group of mediocre comedy writers who wanted to uncover the hard truth of untruth by publishing a digital newspaper dedicated to totally biased, 100% compromised, soft-hitting journalism. Initially intended as an inside joke amongst friends, UN now boasts a network of over two daily readers and close to four subscribers.

Meet the Newsroom
Charlie Tread
Editor-in-chief
A former creative producer for Comedy Central, MTV, and Funnyordie, Charlie lost his job and his wife to a younger, funnier, better looking AI comedy bot named Yukka that he had inadvertently been training his entire career.
Samantha White
Head writer
Samantha writes content for Comedy Central and Twitter. Initially brought on as a DEI hire, she proved herself capable of weathering the relentless UN workplace harassment and eventually slept her way to the top of the writer's room. She's really bad at Photoshop. So bad, in fact, that we had to hire her.
Sameer Wallace
Managing editor
Sameer joined Unsourced News after realizing it was easier to invent the truth than to find it. A former freelance “expert” in cryptocurrency and composting, Sameer now channels that same chaotic energy into writing headlines that make readers question reality while also providing journalistic proof for whatever they're passionate about.
Eric Grandeur
Staff writer
Eric is a bright-eyed 'world is your oyster' kinda fella. A recent graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism, his job prospects immediately fell flat on their face when he discovered that journalism is dead. Long live journalism.
Rachel Ortega
Staff writer
Rachel is a staff writer at Unsourced News specializing in headlines that make readers laugh, cry, and spiral into depression—all before their morning coffee is brewed. She’s powered by cold brew, mild cynicism, and a deep commitment to journalistic irresponsibility. She's a Bulldog fan but hates peaches.
Timothy Barrett
Tech guy
Timothy is a stand up comedian and satirist from a red state. He understands tech better than the rest of us, but not enough to get a high paying job in California, so he works here now.
