About Us

At Mirror Standard, we believe the world deserves news that's clear, honest, and free from hidden agendas. We are not a media empire backed by billion-dollar corporations or political donors. Instead, we’re a group of independent journalists and editors — connected online, working across time zones — united by one mission: to bring you the truth as it is.

Our Mission

News should inform, not mislead. Our mission is to deliver real, unbiased reporting on the stories that shape our world. From politics and economics to culture and technology, we aim to provide clarity where others may provide noise.

We approach every story with three guiding principles:

Accuracy over speed

We would rather be correct than first.

Transparency over spin

We show our sources, methods, and where we’re coming from.

Independence over influence

We are free from corporate or government ownership.

Who We Are

Mirror Standard is a digital-first newsroom built by journalists who collaborate online. Some of us have backgrounds in legacy media; others are freelancers, analysts, or researchers. What we share is a commitment to rigorous reporting and the belief that journalism should serve people, not power.

We are strong because we are small. In the absence of multiple levels of bureaucracy, we can act swiftly, chase significant stories, and answer directly to our readers.

How We Work

Every article you read on Mirror Standard is the result of direct collaboration between reporters and editors. When a story requires expertise beyond our team, we consult specialists or publish under a “Mirror Standard Staff” byline to reflect a collective effort.

We value feedback and dialogue. If you believe we missed something, got something wrong, or should explore a new angle, we want to hear from you. Journalism is strongest when it’s a two-way conversation.

Our Promise

We will always label opinion pieces clearly.

We will never take payment to promote a story.

We will correct errors quickly and openly.

We will continue to operate independently, without ties that compromise our reporting.
