No single outlet owns the truth. We read 40 sources in multiple languages so you don’t have to — then we write what happened in three sentences.
A source earns its place here by being independent from those it covers, by checking its facts, and by seeing something the others miss. A government can fund a newsroom without controlling it. But when the state writes the story, that outlet is not listed here.
Funding and ownership are disclosed below. You should know who pays for the journalism you read.
