A free, global index of structurally independent journalism. 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.
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.
