With Rigorous Journalistic Ethics
One Step Ahead of the News Cycle
Our publications help our readers make strategic decisions by providing them with exclusive information. Our editorial mission is simple: we ensure that our investigations are always one step ahead of the news.
To accomplish this, we establish our own publication schedule and select our own subjects: debates carried out within boards of directors, behind-the-scenes political discussions, covert negotiations for major contracts, lobbying activities, intelligence service operations, media influence and more.
When investigating the inner workings of power, we pay particular attention to informal proceedings rather than official institutional activities. We believe that individuals play a key role, whatever the context, hence our particular interest for powerful figures—both in official roles and operating behind the scenes. Our goal is to understand their underlying motivations and map out key networks of influence.
