What is Dash News and Insights?
We are subject experts...
As historians, engineers, politicians, physicians, lawyers, scientists and others,
We uncover issues that are important today and will be tomorrow.
Our cycles are shorter - we quickly get to the crux of the issue and publish.
We don't just "bear witness" - we engage and question deeply.
We are less prone to manipulation - we rely on our expertise to guide us in complex or controversial matters
We are less reliant on academic experts which are in short supply today
We are equally comfortable in the domain of experts - scientific papers, technical conferences, legal filings - as we are in the world of journalism.
As professionals, we search for evidence rather than truth, proof or facts.
... But we are also journalists
We uncover primary evidence that nobody else has. We do not repackage news delivered by others.
We prioritize in-person conversations. We build trust. We travel to meet people and attend events.
We welcome guest essays, but we don’t believe in opinions, thoughts or “musings.” We are guided by evidence.
We have no agenda and no ideology
Our audience is the broader public
Our Values: clarity, evidence and inclusivity
We explain complex topics in such a clear way that we finally understand them ourselves! We write, re-write and re-write again.
We strive for extreme accuracy and reliability. We post corrections immediately.
Our goal is to reach the broad public in the far corners of our country and the world. We don't judge.
