News Corp says the site will include news "from the widest variety of sources, free of filter bubbles and narrow-minded nonsense." The launch day press release indicates that Knewz sources its stories from over 400 publishers, mostly in the United States.[3] The website features a variety of sources from differing political leanings.

As of 30 January 2020, the site included national sources such as CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg, the Washington Post, the New York Times, NBC News and the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Axios, The Blaze, Bleacher Report, BuzzFeed, Daily Kos, Deadline, Mother Jones, National Review, Newsmax, the Washington Examiner and Talking Points Memo, as well as local sources from all 50 U.S. states.[2]

The trademark was filed in December 2018.[2] In August 2019, the Wall Street Journal[4] and Axios reported a website and mobile app were under development.[5] The beta test was officially launched on 29 January 2020.[3]
