openDemocracy is an independent international media platform. We produce high-quality journalism which challenges power, inspires change and builds leadership among groups underrepresented in the media. Headquartered in London, we have team members across four continents.
We are a mission-focused organisation, which means we always think about the impact our journalism can have. Our investigative journalism has triggered legal changes, parliamentary probes, lawsuits and criminal investigations and we also offer a rich diversity of stories and perspectives from across the world. We help voices otherwise excluded from the media to reach larger audiences, and we campaign on key stories, pushing for a more open, democratic and egalitarian world.
Our stories frequently get widely picked up by global outlets, including in the New York Times, the Financial Times, El Pais, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian and the London Review of Books in the last year alone. We are also a trusted partner, co-producing investigations and documentaries with outlets including the Times and the BBC.
