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.

Mission

Follow your passions (the Channels)

Channels are communities of engaged users around specific vertical topics. You can keep up with all the latest news about the topics you love simply following the Channels around the things that interest you the most. Blasting News' Channels are a unique blend of verified and professionally curated news, written by our contributors and verified by our Reviewers, but also from official social media accounts and a lot of other leading publisher feeds. You won’t find a coverage like this anywhere else.
