About Us
What BROAD BROWSE is
BROAD BROWSE is an independent general news publication. We cover the world and the day as it breaks, across business, the economy, entertainment, health, politics, science, sports and technology. The name is the whole idea: a wide view of what is happening, reported plainly, without asking you to sign up, pay, or hand over an email address before you can read a word.
We are a small editorial team, and we do not put individual bylines on this page for a simple reason. What matters here is not who we are but whether the reporting holds up. A story is either accurate or it is not, and that judgement does not improve because a familiar name sits above it.
Why we started
General news online has a habit of arriving in two unhelpful shapes. One is the wire feed rewritten so many times that the original claim is three hands removed from anyone who checked it. The other is the hot take, published in minutes, correct only by luck. We wanted a third thing: coverage broad enough to be genuinely general, careful enough that a reader could act on it, and honest enough to say when the picture is still forming.
That is a harder promise than it sounds, because breaking news punishes caution. The first number is usually wrong. The early death toll rises, the early cause turns out to be something else, the official statement gets walked back by lunchtime. We would rather be a few minutes behind and right than first and forced into a correction that a screenshot will outrun forever.
What we cover
Our sections are the ones a general reader actually uses. Business and the economy, for the decisions that reach your rent and your job. Politics, reported by what was said and done rather than by which side it flatters. Science and health, where the study behind the headline matters more than the headline. Technology, sports, entertainment, and world news, because a day is made of all of it and not only the part that shouts loudest.
We do not pretend to cover everything everywhere. We are not a newspaper of record and we will not fake the reach of one. When a story sits outside what we can verify ourselves, we say where it came from and let you weigh it, rather than laundering someone else’s claim into our own voice.
How we work
Every story starts from a source we can point to: a document, a named official, a filing, a study, an eyewitness we have reason to trust. Where a claim cannot be stood up, it does not run as fact. Where two credible accounts disagree, we say so instead of picking the tidier one. Opinion, when we publish it, is labelled as opinion and kept off the news pages. The full account of how we source and separate the two lives in our editorial standards, and how claims get checked before publication is in our fact-checking policy.
We get things wrong, because everyone reporting at speed does. What we do about it is the part that counts. Errors are fixed on the original story with a dated note that says what was wrong, not edited away in silence. That process is set out in our corrections policy, and you are the fastest way it works.
How we pay for it
BROAD BROWSE is free to read and paid for by advertising. That arrangement shapes what data passes through your visit, and we would rather be blunt about it than bury it. Who owns us, where the money comes from, and how advertising is kept away from the newsroom is set out in full on our ownership and funding page. What we sell and what we refuse is on our advertise page.
No advertiser gets to see a story before it runs, soften it, or pull it. When a company that advertises with us becomes the subject of coverage, the story says so. That rule is not a favour to readers. It is the only reason a free news site is worth reading at all.
Talking to us
One address reaches the people who do the work: support@broadbrowse.com. Corrections, tips, questions and complaints all land there, and the ways to use it well are on our contact page. If a story is wrong, if a section is thin, or if this page reads like it is hiding something, tell us. A publication that asks to be trusted should be easy to argue with.
