Between the News is an independent media-criticism publication based in Dublin, Ireland. We don't report the news — we examine how it gets reported. Every analysis looks at the choices behind the coverage: the words a headline used, who was made the subject of the sentence, what got buried in paragraph nine, and how differently two outlets told you the exact same story.
Between the News was founded and is edited by a professional journalist with newsroom experience, based in Dublin. The site is fully independent: no outlet, party, or corporate owner is behind it, and we run no advertising.
Every quoted headline or phrase is checked against the outlet's actual published wording before we name names — we never invent or paraphrase a quote and present it as real. Each piece cross-references at least two outlets' coverage of the same story. We cover a fixed set of twenty major outlets across the US, UK and the rest of the world, and we grade the coverage, not the politics of the people in it — praise and criticism land on the same outlet in the same week when the coverage earns both.
Three checks run before anything is published. First, the primary source: we open the outlet's own article — not a search snippet, not someone's screenshot — and read past paragraph nine, because that's usually where the headline's counter-evidence lives. Second, the outlet's own history: before calling a framing choice a habit, we look at how the same newsroom handled the same kind of story before, including in our own archive. Third, the cross-check: if every outlet framed a story the same way, that's an industry-wide pattern and we say so — we don't pin it on one newsroom.
When we get something wrong anyway, the fix is made in the piece itself, visibly — not quietly deleted.
The home feed carries the latest analyses. The Media Guide profiles all twenty outlets we cover — who owns each one, how it leans, and every analysis we've written about it. Trackers & tools collects our running reference pages, and Explore lets you search the full archive by outlet, topic, or phrase.
If we got a quote, attribution, or fact wrong, we want to know. Email corrections@betweenthenews.com and we'll review it against the source material and fix errors visibly.
