About Dash

We are subject experts...

As historians, engineers, politicians, physicians, lawyers, scientists and others,

• We uncover issues that are important today and will be tomorrow.
• Our cycles are shorter - we quickly get to the crux of the issue and publish.
• We don't just "bear witness" - we engage and question deeply.
• We are less prone to manipulation - we rely on our expertise to guide us in complex or controversial matters
• We are less reliant on academic experts which are in short supply today
• We are equally comfortable in the domain of experts - scientific papers, technical conferences, legal filings - as we are in the world of journalism.
• As professionals, we search for evidence rather than truth, proof or facts.

... But we are also journalists

• We uncover primary evidence that nobody else has. We do not repackage news delivered by others.
• We prioritize in-person conversations. We build trust. We travel to meet people and attend events.
• We welcome guest essays, but we don’t believe in opinions, thoughts or “musings.” We are guided by evidence.
• We have no agenda and no ideology
• Our audience is the broader public

Our Values: clarity, evidence and inclusivity

• We explain complex topics in such a clear way that we finally understand them ourselves! We write, re-write and re-write again.
• We strive for extreme accuracy and reliability. We post corrections immediately.
• Our goal is to reach the broad public in the far corners of our country and the world. We don't judge.
