Why you can trust Blasting News

Blasting News provides news to 30 million readers each month.

We publish around 16,000 news articles and videos each month. We can count on more than 1 million loyal subscribers to our thematic news channels.

Blasting News relies on 2,000 freelancers writing in 5 different languages.

We are active in 8 countries (Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States) thanks to the amazing work done by our large pool of qualified contributors. A global presence, for a global coverage.

Blasting News rewards high quality news and true engagement.

We offer a compensation system based on meritocratic principles: the higher number of engaged readers that each news article receives, the higher compensation for the contributor. Following this method, we have paid more than 12 million euros to our contributors so far.

Blasting News has been deemed a reliable and trustworthy news site by NewsGuard.

We have been awarded the Green Shield by fulfilling all nine criteria of transparency and credibility. NewsGuard uses journalism to fight disinformation, helping readers know which news site present information responsibly.

Blasting News adheres to “The Trust Project - News with Integrity” quality standards.

We follow the transparency standards developed by the 'Trust Project - News with Integrity', promoted by the University of Santa Clara, which establishes principles to keep journalism accurate and transparent (Blasting News is not a member of the programme, but has requested to be part of it; the project has not conducted a compliance review yet).

Blasting News is working with the European Union in the fight against fake news.

We are a key partner of the Eunomia project, originating in the need to determine the level of trustworthiness of the news. This Project was recently funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement ID: 825171).

Blasting News has been awarded by the Google News Innovation Fund.

We have been awarded by Google DNI (Digital News Innovation Fund), a European programme part of the Google News Initiative, an effort to help journalism thrive in the digital age.

Blasting News has been awarded by Regione Sicilia to fight misinformation.

In partnership with the University of Palermo, we have launched a two-years project to tackle fake news developing integrated mechanisms (automatic, semi-automatic and human) to evaluate news authenticity. The project is financed by Regione Sicilia (project code 086201000451).

Mission and values

Blasting News is an innovative global publisher whose main objective is to offer independent and accurate journalism. We tell our news from a multiplicity of angles, without taking sides. Different from all other publishers who express their own agendas and prefer one point of view over another, at Blasting News the only side we take is yours: we offer you the story from every angle, even if we don’t agree with all of them, so that you can build informed opinions.

For us, every voice counts: this is the reason why we are open to receive submissions from any collaborator and freelancer. However, openness demands responsibility. To create a safe environment, all our news articles are submitted to a rigorous curation and fact-checking process using industry best practices: every piece of content is screened firstly by a Reviewer, than by our internal newsroom in London.
