About Pine News

Pine News is an independent English-language news outlet covering world affairs, politics, business, sport, science, and culture. We publish original reporting and editorial analysis for readers who want to follow important stories without noise or agenda.

Our mission

We believe that clear, honest journalism is a public good. Our mission is to report on the events and developments that matter - whether they unfold in Washington, Brussels, Moscow, or a courtroom near you - and to do so with accuracy, fairness, and respect for the reader's intelligence. We do not sensationalize. We do not publish rumors. We verify before we publish.

How we work

Every article published on Pine News begins with a credible primary source. Our writers draw on wire reports, official statements, court documents, press conferences, and on-the-record interviews. Where a claim cannot be verified independently, we say so. Where new information materially changes the picture, we update the story and note the change.

We do not accept payment to influence editorial decisions. Advertising relationships are managed separately from the newsroom and have no bearing on which stories we cover or how we cover them. Sponsored content, when it appears, is clearly labeled and distinguishable from editorial material.

Our team

Pine News is run by a small editorial team with backgrounds in print journalism, digital publishing, and international affairs. Our contributors include reporters and analysts based in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. The editorial operation is overseen by an editor responsible for maintaining accuracy standards and responding to correction requests.

We believe in putting names on work. Our articles carry author names and roles. Our editorial policy, corrections policy, and privacy policy are published in full and accessible from every page of the site.

Coverage areas

Our core beats are international news, US domestic politics and policy, business and markets, sports, and technology. We also cover science and health when events of genuine public significance arise. We do not publish celebrity gossip, lifestyle content, or promotional material disguised as journalism.

Contact and corrections

Readers who find an error in a published article are encouraged to contact the newsroom at [email protected]. We take all correction requests seriously and respond within one business day. Our full corrections policy is published on this site.

For editorial pitches, press inquiries, or general questions about Pine News, you can reach the team at the same address. We read everything that arrives in the inbox, even if we cannot respond to every message individually.

Independence

Pine News is privately operated and editorially independent. We are not funded by any government, political party, or advocacy group, and we do not take direction from any external party on what to publish. Our revenue comes from display advertising. When that advertising relationship involves Google AdSense or similar platforms, it is disclosed in our privacy and cookie policies.

We are committed to being a site that readers can trust to tell them what happened, not what they want to hear.
