About News Inspection

News Inspection is an independent digital news publication covering world affairs, Pakistan, the Middle East, business, technology and sport. Our aim is simple: a fast, clear front page where every story is written to be understood on the first read.

How our newsroom works

Our coverage comes from two desks working together.

Our reporters file original stories, with their own photographs, directly to the newsroom. Every one of these stories carries the reporter's name.

Our newsdesk follows developments around the clock and writes them up as News Inspection reports, in our own words and house style. The newsdesk draws on the reporting of news agencies and other publishers, uses automated editorial tools to help prepare its reports, and credits the reporting it builds on. These stories carry the byline "News Inspection Newsdesk".

Our standards

We report facts and attribute claims to the people and organisations making them. We do not publish rumour as fact, and we keep opinion in our Editorials section, clearly separated from news. Photographs are credited to their owners.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we want to fix it quickly. If you spot an error, or you are a publisher or photographer with a question about how your work is credited, contact us and we will act promptly.

Why "Inspection"?

Because a good front page is an inspection of the day: what happened, where, and why it matters, without noise or clickbait. We aim to be the first page you open in the morning.
