An independent publication for American readers.
Splash Newswire publishes news, analysis, and reporting across the topics that shape American public life.
Our Purpose
Splash Newswire exists to inform readers with clear, accurate, and useful reporting on the events, decisions, and developments that matter to daily life in the United States.
Coverage that is neither watered down for the sake of speed nor bloated for the sake of length.
The publication aims to bring readers that standard of coverage, and to do so with a plainly stated set of editorial standards that any reader can hold us to.
Coverage
Coverage aims to reflect both the major national stories of the day and the practical, useful reporting that helps readers make sense of what is happening in their communities and around them.
Government, public affairs, and the decisions shaping the national conversation.
Companies, markets, industries, and the economic forces reaching households.
Innovation, digital trends, and the products changing how people live and work.
Research, medical advances, and discoveries affecting everyday life.
Travel, entertainment, food, and the trends reflecting how people spend their time.
Practical reporting and features that put current events into perspective.
What We Stand For
Five commitments govern the reporting. They are stated plainly so readers know what to expect and where to hold us to account.
Accuracy is the first commitment. Every factual claim published on the site should be verifiable, and errors discovered after publication are corrected openly on the record.
Fairness governs the treatment of the people and organizations covered in the reporting. Subjects of substantive allegations are given a meaningful opportunity to respond before publication, and the reporting reflects that response where it is given.
Independence from commercial pressure is protected as a matter of editorial practice. Coverage decisions are made by the editorial team on the merits of the story, not on the basis of advertising or sponsorship relationships.
Transparency about the kind of piece a reader is looking at matters. News reporting, analysis, opinion, and sponsored content are labeled clearly and kept visibly distinct.
Accessibility of language matters as well. Reporting is written for a general reader, without unnecessary jargon.
The editorial side is kept separate from the commercial side.
Splash Newswire is editorially independent. The publication accepts advertising and, on occasion, sponsored content, but the editorial operation is kept separate from the commercial side of the site.
Advertisers and sponsors do not review, approve, or influence editorial coverage before publication.
