Our Mission: Truth, Clarity, and Context in a Time of Disinformation
Insight News is a Europe- and Ukraine-focused independent media outlet dedicated to objective, analytical, and investigative journalism.
We were created to counter disinformation and propaganda, providing readers with factual, balanced, and in-depth analysis of the most pressing political, social, and technological issues facing Ukraine and Europe.
Our mission is simple yet urgent: to help readers see beyond manipulation, understand complex realities, and defend the right to truthful information.
How the Project Began
Insight News started in 2022 as a volunteer project with journalists from Ukraine and different European countries, all working together to fight against misleading stories that affect Ukraine and the EU; it received help from Ukrainian IT firms and media experts and grew into a permanent media platform focused on teamwork, openness, and trust.
NGO and Leading Project
Today, Insight News operates as part of the Kyiv-based NGO “Center for Political and Social Research ‘Infospace'”, a voluntary association of individuals working to protect rights, freedoms, and informational interests in society.
Since 2016, the NGO has pursued projects that address political analysis, media literacy, and democratic resilience, making Insight News one of its initiatives.
One of Insight News’ key programs is Disinformation Watch—an ongoing research and media project that investigates and exposes the propaganda networks targeting Ukraine and the European Union.
Through detailed analysis, cross-country collaboration, and open-source research, Disinformation Watch maps out how foreign influence operations manipulate public opinion across various European nations.
This project exemplifies our broader mission: to reveal the truth behind information warfare and to empower societies to resist disinformation.
Who We Are
We are a team of highly skilled journalists, media experts, and web analysts from Ukraine. Bound by shared values and a common purpose, our contributors combine journalistic accuracy, linguistic precision, and technological expertise to ensure every article we publish meets the highest editorial standards.
Our team works independently, guided solely by the principles of transparency, accuracy, and fairness.
What We Do
At Insight News, we:
- Provide balanced and verified information on significant political, social, and economic developments in Ukraine and Europe.
- Reveal disinformation campaigns, propaganda efforts, and fake news aimed at undermining democratic values.
- Deliver analytical insights into global challenges—from geopolitical crises and climate change to technological disruption and cyber threats.
Our coverage of Russia’s war against Ukraine remains one of our editorial priorities. We report on the human, political, and international dimensions of the invasion while highlighting the resilience of democratic societies.
Our Editorial Principles
Insight News’ editorial policy is grounded in independence and integrity.
All editorial decisions are made exclusively by our editorial team without influence from political, commercial, or ideological entities.
We believe in:
- Fact-based journalism, not emotional manipulation.
- Transparency of sources and a commitment to accuracy.
- Respectful and ethical storytelling, with no room for bias or propaganda.
- Accountability—when errors occur, we correct them promptly and publicly.
We clearly separate our Analysis and Opinion sections to ensure readers always know whether they are engaging with facts or commentary.
Our Funding
Insight News operates thanks to the support of volunteers and donations from individuals and organizations who share our values. Part of our funding comes from the online advertising platforms (that’s why you can see ads on our website’s pages).
If and when we receive any funding from any grant or institution, we clearly inform our readers about that.
We do not display advertisements, nor do we rely on sponsored content that could compromise our independence. We do not accept any sponsored materials in niches banned from advertising.
All our publications are freely accessible, ensuring that critical information reaches as wide an audience as possible—especially in times when truth and transparency are under threat.
If you believe in what we do, you can support our work by contributing or sharing our materials—every action helps strengthen independent journalism.
Our Values and Priorities
We uphold the fundamental principles of democratic debate, advocating for open dialogue built on verified information and critical analysis.
Our priority is to ensure that every person has access to accurate, comprehensive, and timely information, enabling informed participation in society.
We are convinced that free access to truth is the foundation of democracy—and that defending it is both a right and a duty.
