ABOUT

The Fifth is a weekly newsletter that distills the most important news into a clear, consciously curated read—designed for people who care about the world but don’t want to drown in headlines.

Created by Huma Razvi, a former producer with NBC and CBS News with more than a decade of experience covering politics and elections, The Fifth's coverage focuses on power, injustice, and the systems shaping your life.

This is news without algorithms, echo chambers, or spin—in a world where cults of personality dominate and legacy media has dropped the ball.

The Fifth is a tool for consciousness, not distraction—and it’s built on the belief that understanding is the first step toward meaningful change.
