When owners are involved, editors often lose their independence. Corporate ownership can introduce editorial bias or sympathy for the concerns of a parent company or a political ally or ideological position. When this happens, journalism suffers, autonomy and independence as journalists are compromised, and the public is manipulated. World News seeks to show the often hidden patterns of ownership and content to the readers who are writing the stories.
Ground reporting brings depth, context, and human narratives that headlines and algorithms fail to capture. Digital tools propel news faster than ever, yet many forget to mention the lived reality of people that shape those lives. World News underscores the value of firsthand reporting to challenge what we think we know, always concerning ourselves with the previously unheard story and to find the truths obscured.
