Circa News or more simply, Circa, is a news service founded in 2012, by Matt Galligan, Ben Huh, and Arsenio Santos, that aimed "to pursue a more pure definition of news with truths divorced from conjecture, opinion or biased analysis.” Circa news stories consisted of individual bits of information from different sources and viewpoints that were stitched together into a story that could be shifted around and changed easily as stories developed. The service was accessible via a website and a mobile app. The service announced on June 24, 2015 that it would be shutting down due to financial reasons, though it relaunched in Spring 2016 under the ownership of media company Sinclair Broadcast Group.
