A free index of structurally independent journalism — 6 outlets for now, chosen against a strict filter, more as they pass it. Every outlet here is owned by no billionaire, no conglomerate, no bank, no government. This site shows headlines only and links to the source — it never reproduces articles, because reader subscriptions are what keep these newsrooms free. Green FREE badges mark outlets anyone can read in full, anywhere, at no cost.
free open to all · € subscription · 100% pure readers only, no tie found · grey one named impurity (hover for details) · the evidence →
Employee-owned since 1915, ad-free since 1918. The purest newspaper in Europe publishes on paper only.
Subscribe ↗Belgian investigative quarterly owned by ~1,000 cooperators. The independent lens on Belgium.
medor.coop ↗Subscription-funded, ad-free Dutch journalism. Its feed is members-only — that is the model working.
decorrespondent.nl ↗Selection is structural, not editorial: revenue overwhelmingly from readers, no advertising dependence, no owner able to kill a story — verified against each outlet's published accounts. Badges are honest: 100% pure means no identified tie to any person, company, foundation or state; otherwise the impurity is named on the badge.
Independence of ownership is not neutrality of viewpoint. Most reader-funded outlets lean left; balance your reading accordingly. This index tells you who could not be bought — not who is right.
This site displays only headlines and hyperlinks from publicly offered RSS feeds, in accordance with Art. 15 of EU Directive 2019/790 (press publishers' right), which excludes hyperlinks from its scope. No article text, excerpt or image is reproduced. All content remains © its publisher.
Non-commercial. No cookies, no analytics, no tracking, no data collected. Fonts and headlines are served from this site: a robot on this server reads the outlets’ RSS feeds every hour, so your browser talks to thesurvivors.news only. If that robot fails, the page falls back to public relays (rss2json, allorigins, corsproxy), which would see your IP address like any web server. Publishers: to adjust or remove your listing, one email suffices — it will be honoured within 48 hours.
