Independent journalism that holds power to account.
The LiveBriefs was founded on a single conviction: that a free society depends on a free press. For two decades, our reporters have covered wars, elections, financial crises, and human stories that would otherwise go untold – working from newsrooms and war zones alike.
We are reader-supported and editorially independent. No billionaire owner, no advertising pressure, no agenda beyond the truth. Our journalism is funded by the people who read it, which means we answer to you and no one else.
Since 2005, without fear or favour.
No outside ownership. No political affiliation. Every editorial decision is made in our newsroom, not a boardroom.
We verify before we publish. Corrections are prominent. When we get it wrong, we say so clearly.
We publish difficult stories. We protect our sources. We do not soften inconvenient truths.
