About us

We take the stories everyone is sharing and explain them properly.

When a post, a clip or a headline blows up online, most people only ever see the post. We go and find out what actually happened, who is involved, why people care and what it means. Then we write it up in plain words, in English, Spanish and French.

We cover politics, world affairs, food and the internet's strangest moments, for readers across the Americas, Africa and beyond.
