Newsbomb.al was founded in 2016 in Tirana, Albania, and publishes in the Albanian language. It covers the Western Balkans where there's an Albanian speaking audience: Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro.

In terms of information, Newsbomb.al is a general news online media outlet, publishing stories on politics, the economy, the rule of law, education, and human rights. In particular, Newsbomb.al prioritises breaking news and live event coverage.

In September 2021, it started a monthly magazine that publishes in-depth investigations concerning corruption cases, politics, the economy, social welfare, and human rights. The magazine has an online as well as a print version, and according to CEO Anila Basha, it is an essential component of the organisation's sustainability.

In addition to the revenue generated from advertising, a big part of the income comes from online subscriptions and magazine sales. The organisation, one of the few media outlets in Albania with a monthly magazine, aims to increase the number of paid subscribers and the sales of the printed magazine.
