Ground News is owned by Snapwise Inc. , an Ontario, Canada-based company, and Ground News says it is co-founded by Harleen Kaur Jolly and Sukh Singh Jolly. Public sources also describe it as backed by a mix of independent investors rather than a large media conglomerate.

Ownership details

  • Legal owner: Snapwise Inc.
  • Founders: Harleen Kaur Jolly and Sukh Singh Jolly
  • Investor base: Ground News says it is backed by a handful of mission-aligned independent investors

What that means

In practical terms, Ground News appears to be founder-led and privately held, not owned by a big corporate parent. The company’s own about page says its ownership categories were researched and developed by Ground News, and it uses outside organizations for bias and factuality ratings.
