Journalistic ethics
One step ahead of the news
Our publications help our readers take decisions by giving them the highest standards of reporting. Our editorial line is simple: we aim to be constantly one step ahead of the news.
That is why we pick and choose what to follow: board debates, strategy plans, political discussions behind the scenes, secret deal-makings, lobbying, intelligence services operations, media influences, and more.
We place high value on the informal – rather than the institutional – workings of power. We believe individuals play a primordial role. That is why we follow the actions of the men and women in power, whether they have official duties or work from behind the scenes. We try to understand their underlying motivations and map out their networks.
